There are two main product design methods: bottom-up and top-down. The bottom-up design method is usually to design important components first, then assemble each component into each module ', and then connect the modules to form the product itself, usually memory components or mixed signals (Mix- Mode) Integrated circuit component design adopts a bottom-up design process, because the analog circuits of these components belong to the transistor level design, and traditionally cannot be regarded as the logic gate level. Break it up and wind it automatically. The top-down design approach focuses on the efficiency of the product itself to design the components. In addition to bottom-up and top-down design methods, bottom-up and top-down integration can also be used to optimize the product. Generally, the memory is mainly composed of a memory cell array and a logic part. Because there are quite a lot of analog circuits, long wires and logic parts in the memory, most of the memory is designed from bottom to top. However, some people have proposed that the logic part of the memory can be designed using a top-down approach, but the analog circuit part still cannot be designed using a top-down design, so only the logic part is top-down. The design in the way of 08217twfl.doc / 006 tr bias correction date 92.4.3〇 still can not meet the requirements of ful1 chlP automation design. First, please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, which show a design flow chart of a conventional memory. It is conventional to design the memory cell array part separately from the logic part. The memory cell array includes the steps of schematic design 100, hard macro layout 102, full-chip winding 104 and tape out 106. Please refer to FIG. 1B, which shows a design flow chart of conventional logic. The conventional logic design process includes the steps of high-level hardware description language programming 110, synthesis 112, automatic winding 114, and tape out 116. Please refer to FIG. 2 for a design flow chart of the conventional memory. The memory cell array includes the steps of circuit design 200 and Hard macro layout and function description 202. The logic part includes high-level hardware description language programming 204 and synthesis 206. After that, the part of the memory cell array and the logic part are combined to complete the full-chip winding 208 with Hard macro, and finally the step of Tape out 210. Because the overall design is disassembled into two parts, and the analog schematic of the hard macro must be manually entered into the winding design. In the design process of conventional memory, in the memory cell array part, the hard macro, including the pulse generator, capacitor, resistor, transistor, and high-voltage components, must be designed in advance, and then: with Hard macro When the whole chip is being routed, the flexibility of its winding design will be considerably limited. Therefore, the overall design method is fully automatic. 559711 Factory 1---1 1 08217twfl.doc / 006 ^ · I The revision date 92.4.30 will lead to a long design time and slow progress. In addition, the automatic placement and routing tools (APR tool) such as Apollo from Avanti or SE software from Cadence cannot be used in more than 2 power lines (on the same chip). In this case, automatic winding is performed. However, taking a general flash memory array design as an example, all of them have more than two high voltage circuits. Therefore, when there are more than two power lines in the same chip, the winding must still be performed in a semi-manual manner. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to propose a method for designing a full-chip component on a memory to Avoid the trouble that the winding cannot be automated caused by Hard macro. In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, a method for designing a full-chip element on a memory is proposed, which is to disassemble the components in the hard macro into transistor-level components for automated design. In the case of more than 2 power lines, 'multiple bypass lines are provided by the automatic winding software as Vss and VDD', where Vss and vDD are the two power sources that the software can recognize, and multiple power sources are used. The wire is wound as a signal wire to achieve the purpose of automatically winding all the components in the Hard maCro. In other words, it means that the logic gate level part and the transistor level part are automatically wound by the automatic configuration and winding tools at the same time. The method for designing a full-chip component on a memory of the present invention, after converting the circuit design in the above-mentioned Hard macro into a format such as verii0g or EDIF, 'combines it with other parts (such as logic 559711 08217twfl.) doc / 006

However, in this embodiment, an automatic configuration and a winding tool are used to automatically wind the logic gate level part, the transistor level part, and other non-synthesizable circuit parts simultaneously. In other words, in the step of the circuit design 300 of this embodiment, the hard macro is divided into multiple transistor-level components for automated design, and other non-synthesizable circuit parts are also designed in a similar manner. The method is detailed As described below. When there are more than two power lines on the same chip, the wire is wound in a cell base auto_routing method. In this embodiment, by using automatic winding software, for example, Apollo from Avanti or SE from Cadence, multiple bypass lines are provided as Vss and VDD, where Vss and Vdd are two power sources identifiable by the software (power ), And more than 2 power lines are used as signal lines for winding, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically winding all the components in the Hard macro. Using more than 2 power lines as signal lines for winding can not only break through the bottleneck of the automatic configuration and winding tool (APR Tool), which can only identify two power sources, but also can automatically wind each component in the Hard macro. The above description is only based on the Apollo software or the SE software, but it is not limited that the present invention is only applicable to this software. According to the method for designing a full-chip device on a memory of the present invention, after the circuit design in the above-mentioned hard macro is converted into a format such as verilog or EDIF, it is combined with other parts (such as a logic part) other than the hard macro.

Next, please refer to FIG. 4 ', which shows a multi-power N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor on a N-type substrate in a full-chip device on a memory according to a * preferred embodiment of the present invention. The N-type substrate 400 has a P-well 402 therein. A surface of the P-well 402 near the substrate 400 has a source / drain 404 and a wei contact 406, and an N-type substrate 400 has a snare electrode 408. By using the automatic winding software (APR Tool), for example, Apollo from Avanti or SE software from Cadence, a plurality of bypass lines 410, 412, 410, 412 is, for example, connected to the voltages of Vss and VDD, where Vss and VDD are two power sources (Power) recognizable by software, and the power supply line is used as a signal line 414 for winding. The signal line 414 is in contact with the well 406 through a plug 415, for example, and the signal line 414 is connected to a voltage VDP. In this way, the purpose of automatically winding all components in the Hard macro can be achieved.
