1983 - TALIB: An IC Layout Design Assistant

چکیده
This paper describes a knowledge-based system for automatically synthesizing integrated circuit layouts for NMOS cells. The desired cell layouts are specified in terms of their general structural and functional characteristics. From these initial specifications, the system produces correct and CoriJpact cell layouts. The system performs this task by generating plan steps at different levels of abstraction and opportunistically refining each plan step at one level to more specific steps at a lower level. Although the implementation of this system has focused on NMOS technology, the techniques used are not restricted to that technology.’

Design Automation Method for Total Ionization Dose Tolerant Integrated Circuits
Modern integrated circuits (IC) operate in environment of various destabilizing factors which have essential influence on the operation of these circuits and often even disturb the normal operation. One of these destabilizing factors is the cosmic radiation, particularly total ionization dose effects (TID). For modern TID tolerant ICs [1-4] design is being done by circuit designers. In this pap...
متن کاملGenerating Analog IC Layouts with LAYGEN II - ReadingSample
In the past few years, several tools for the automation of the analog integrated circuit (IC) cell and system layout design, with application on both new and reused designs have emerged. Yet, most of the layout design is still handmade, essentially because analog designers want to have total control over the different design options, and also, due to the fact that current fully automated genera...
متن کاملTwo optimal algorithms for finding bi-directional shortest path design problem in a block layout
In this paper, Shortest Path Design Problem (SPDP) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. The bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for Automated Guided Vehi-cles (AGV).To solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. For each algorithm an Integer Linear Pro-gramming (ILP) is determined. The objective functions of both algorithms are t...

متن کاملSTICKS-A graphical compiler for high level LSI design
The need for good design automation in the area of integrated circuit layout is severe. It is believed that the STICKS system does much to fill that need. STICKS is a computer aided design system which frees the designer from the tedious aspects of IC design and allows him to concentrate on the more creative and necessarily human side of the design process. With STICKS the designer is allowed t...
