20150143306 | METHODS FOR FABRICATING HIGH-DENSITY INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICES - An integrated circuit device having a plurality of lines is described in which the widths of the lines, and the spacing between adjacent lines, vary within a small range which is independent of variations due to photolithographic processes, or other patterning processes, involved in manufacturing the device. A sequential sidewall spacer formation process is described for forming an etch mask for the lines, which results in first and second sets of sidewall spacers arranged in an alternating fashion. As a result of this sequential sidewall spacer process, the variation in the widths of the lines across the plurality of lines, and the spacing between adjacent lines, depends on the variations in the dimensions of the sidewall spacers. These variations are independent of, and can be controlled over a distribution much less than, the variation in the size of the intermediate mask element caused by the patterning process. | 2015-05-21 |
20150143307 | SEQUENTIAL CLOCK GATING USING NET ACTIVITY AND XOR TECHNIQUE ON SEMICONDUCTOR DESIGNS INCLUDING ALREADY GATED PIPELINE DESIGN - The circuit design process requires ways to reduce the power consumption of large integrated circuits and system-on-chip designs. This is typically done by introducing a process of clock gating thereby enabling or disabling flip-flops associated with specific functional blocks within the circuit. However, such changes in the circuit require synthesis and verification to ensure correctness of design and operation as sequential clock gating changes the state function dynamically. It is therefore necessary to define synthesis methods adapted to such dynamic changes in the design. According to an embodiment a sequential clock gating method uses an exclusive-OR technique to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art methods. | 2015-05-21 |
20150143308 | SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING A SIMULATION OF A DEVICE AGAINST ONE OR MORE VIOLATION RULES - A simulation system for testing a simulation of a device against one or more violation rules is described. The simulation system comprises a device simulator for executing the simulation of a device using a device design, a device model and a simulation scenario; and one or more violation monitors, one for each violation rule. At least one of the violation monitors comprises a violation information detector and a threshold controller. The violation information detector is arranged to detect one or more violations of the respective violation rule during the executing of the simulation and, for each violation, determine information representing the respective violation, wherein detecting the one or more violations comprises comparing a simulated parameter against a threshold. The threshold controller is arranged to determine the threshold for the respective violation rule in dependence on a temporal characteristic of the associated violation. A method of testing a simulation of a device against one or more violation rules is described. | 2015-05-21 |
