Specific embodiment
In order to be easy to understand the technical means, the creative features, the aims and the efficiencies achieved by the present invention, tie below Conjunction is specifically illustrating, and the present invention is further explained.
In order to realize low cost and the short time of ECO, a kind of method is to put one in remaining space after layout-design A little standard blocks (standard cell), and the structure of the standard block and position be it is fixed, generally multiple grids are put In a row, in each row, the active area between grid is shared.These functional units for modifying out have very much first Limit, cannot be modified as the higher unit of complexity or can only manual modification, in addition manual line, needs the plenty of time, efficiency It is beneath.Secondly it needs not necessarily to have required amount of Gate arrangement around the region modified, is not enough barricaded as required unit.Because Different grids adds different functional unit situations very more, so can not provide too many kind of feelings in the library that wafer factory provides Condition, it is most of still to want client's manual modification.The timing condition that it does not have temporal model to describe this unit again, so finally The domain that modification comes out can not accurately estimate temporal model.
Proposed by the present invention is that a kind of modular gate array stand-by unit with timing is arranged in domain, be can be set With the matched gate array standard cell lib of the gate array stand-by unit, when the gate array stand-by unit in domain with In the case that machine is distributed, the level in domain more than metal layer can be only modified, by modifying network mark, utilizes EDA (Electronic Design Automation, Electronics Design Automation) tool replaces and is laid out automatically.The gate array standard cell lib In functional unit can replace the gate array stand-by unit in domain, and in the gate array standard cell lib include function The accurate control sequential of tool or driving capability of EDA can be used in the temporal model of unit.
Gate array standard cell lib of the invention is using gate array standard block as basic unit, the gate array standard block Library includes multiple gate array standard blocks, and Fig. 1 is to indicate showing for gate array standard block according to an embodiment of the invention It is intended to.In one embodiment, each gate array standard block 100 includes two pairs of pmos transistors and nmos transistor, And metal layer.As shown in Figure 1, the gate array standard block 100 includes pmos transistor area 110 and nmos transistor 120, the pmos transistor area 110 includes two grids 111 and active area 112, to form two pmos transistors;Institute Stating nmos transistor area 120 includes two grids 121 and active area 122, to form two nmos transistors.
The grid 111 and active area 112 of two pmos transistors are arranged in a row, 121 He of grid of two nmos transistors Active area 122 lines up another row, and the pmos transistor is located at a row, and the nmos transistor is located at another row.In an institute It states in gate array standard block, the adjacent pmos transistor shares same active area 112, the adjacent nmos transistor Share same active area 122.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the active area 112 includes source electrode and drain electrode, This is not repeated them here.Between the different gate array standard blocks, the active area of the pmos transistor is mutually indepedent, described The active area of nmos transistor is mutually indepedent, i.e., between the different gate array standard blocks, active area is mutually not connected to.
In Fig. 1, the metal layer 130 is the first metal layer, and in other embodiments, the metal layer 130 can be with For one layer or several layers of of combination in the first metal layer, second metal layer, third metal layer etc..Wherein, multiple gate arrays Stand-by unit 100 forms different functional units by the different connections of one or more layers metal layer;An or gate array Stand-by unit 100 forms different functional units by the different connections of one or more layers metal layer.The i.e. described functional unit can It connects to be formed with the metal layer by one or more gate array stand-by units 100, to realize different functions.
Specifically, the modification of domain can be carried out in chip designing system.For example, the chip designing system can be Various eda tools.The gate array standard cell lib, and the chip design department can be imported in the chip designing system There is domain in system.
In the design layout of domain, it is standby that gate array corresponding with the gate array stand-by unit 100 is set in domain Use unit.As shown in Fig. 2, GA2 is a gate array stand-by unit, the gate array stand-by unit GA2 and the gate array mark The structure of the transistor part of quasi- unit 100 is identical, in each gate array stand-by unit GA2 pmos transistor and Pmos transistor and nmos crystal in structure, quantity and the arrangement mode of nmos transistor and the gate array standard block 100 The structure of pipe, quantity and arrangement mode are all the same.That is, the gate array stand-by unit GA2 and the gate array standard block 100 It is identical with the design structure of grid layer in substrate layer, only in metal layer and with the possible difference of the design structure on upper layer.
In the domain, multiple gate array stand-by unit GA2 are arranged in an at least row, and every row includes multiple described Gate array stand-by unit.For example, in the first row, a gate array stand-by unit GA2 is arranged in a row in Fig. 2;?
