STANDARD CELLS AND VARIATIONS THEREOF WITHIN A STANDARD CELL LIBRARY

摘要

Exemplary embodiments for a plurality of standard cell libraries comprising one or more standard cells and one or more corresponding standard cell variants are disclosed. One or more standard cell variants have similar functionality to one or more standard cells but differ from one or more standard cells in terms of geometry, location of the geometry, and / or interconnections between the geometry. Exemplary systems and methods described herein are optionally selected from one or more standard cells and / or one or more standard cell variants to form an electronic architecture design for analog and / or digital circuits of electronic devices. In one exemplary embodiment, a semiconductor foundry and / or semiconductor technology node may impose one or more electronic design constraints on the placement of one or more standard cells on the electronic device design real estate. Can be. In some situations, some of the one or more standard cells may not meet one or more electronic design constraints when placed on the electronic device design effective area. In such a situation, one or more standard cell variants corresponding to such standard cells may be placed on the electronic device design effectiveness area.
