An Efficient IC Layout Design of Decoders and Its ApplicationsLow power issues have become an important factor in modern VLSI design .This paper discusses the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a d
While traditional approaches for layout of schematic dia- grams follow the general place and route technique from VLSI design [1,12], more recent work includes some concepts from the area of graph drawing [9]. However, these concepts are not sufficient for the needs of our application, since...

In a multi-wide class design layout, design rule checks for enclosure of multi wide class objects prevent false errors or false passes by performing such checks against the non-virtual boundaries of a wide class object, and not against the virtual boundaries. An exemplary embodiment provides a ...

design rules (distances) that are determined by the fabrication process. The computer program then creates an output file that marks all design rule violations location and type. The input of the tool is a mask layout database (i.e.: layout block/s) that is made manually by a mask ...
In recent years, demands to increase the number of transistors on a wafer have required decreasing the size of the features, but this has introduced diffraction effects, which have posed limitations on the desired feature size. Lithography in the context of VLSI manufacturing is the process of pa...
