Regular Fabrics in Deep Sub-Micron Integrated-Circuit Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several regular circuit structures are proposed. They provide alternatives to the widely used standard-cell structure and have better predictability and a simpler design methodology. A regular global routing scheme is developed. A design flow for use with of all these regular fabrics is discussed.

A Pad-Oriented Novel Electrostatic Discharge Protection Structure For Mixed-Signal ICs
This paper reports a design of a bonding pad oriented square-shape ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection structure. The novel ESD protection structure provides adequate protection for IC chips against ESD pulses in all directions. The structure features deep snapback symmetric characteristics, low discharging impedance, low holding voltage, and flexible triggering voltage. It passed 14KV HBM...
متن کاملMOCA ARM: Analog Reliability Measurement based on Monte Carlo Analysis
Due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. Although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...
متن کاملDigital Circuits Delay Analysis
The speed of digital circuit is one of the most restricting factors in the deep sub-micron and multigigahertz integrated circuits design. It is directly dependent on the circuit delay. Scaling down the technologies and increasing the operational frequency make the delay problems more important. This paper studies the delay in digital circuits, starting from the design process, scaling down the ...
متن کاملDesign Guidelines towards Compact Litho-Friendly Regular cells
Integrated circuit design advances into the nanoscale era towards more compact, higher performance and lower power devices. However, the large number of transistors per die has entailed an increase of device variability due to subwavelength lithography and layout complexity impacting manufacturability. Therefore, regular designs has emerged as an alternative cell design style towards more litho...
