Mixed-cell-height standard cell design and subsequent legalization represent critical steps in modern integrated circuit development. The technique involves the utilisation of standard cells with ...

Whereas the CPUs and similar ASICs of the 1970s had their transistors laid out manually, with the move from LSI to VLSI, it became necessary to optimize the process of laying out the transistors and ...

Variety is a high-speed general-purpose statistical library characterizer for standard cells. The tool generates variation-aware timing models for use with commercial statistical static timing ...

A new technical paper titled “Beyond Backside Power: Backside Signal Routing as Technology Booster for Standard Cell Scaling” was published by researchers from University of Texas at Austin and Intel.
