FinFET METHOD OF DESIGNING FIN FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORFINFET-BASED CIRCUIT AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

摘要

A method of designing a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) based circuit includes designing a first circuit diagram design based on performance details using a processor, wherein the first circuit diagram design has no artificial elements, The artificial element is used to simulate the electrical performance of a FinFET based circuit. The method further includes modifying at least one device in the first circuit diagram design to form a second circuit diagram design that takes into account artifacts using the process. The method further includes performing a pre-layout simulation using the second circuit diagram and considering the artificial element. The method includes generating a layout, wherein the layout does not take into account artifacts, and performing post-layout simulations, wherein the post-layout simulations do not take into account artifacts .
