High-Speed Standard Cells Designed Using a Deep-Submicron Physical Effect

摘要

A system comprises signal paths. There are first through n signal paths, n being a positive integer. A critical one of the first through n signal paths is based on being a respective one of the first through n signal paths having a slowest signal propagation and/or a path in which a signal propagates slower than a clock cycle. The critical one of the first through n signal paths comprises a first size of a standard cell including corresponding logic devices. The non-critical ones of the first through n signal paths comprise a second size of a standard cell including corresponding logic devices, the second size being smaller than the first size.
