  • TECHNOLOGY MIGRATION FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS WITH RADICAL DESIGN RESTRICTIONS
    Publication number: 20070277129
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for migrating an integrated circuit (IC) design from a source technology without radical design restrictions (RDR) to a target technology with RDR, are disclosed. The invention implements a minimum layout perturbation approach that addresses the RDR requirements. The invention also solves the problem of inserting dummy shapes where required, and extending the lengths of the critical shapes and/or the dummy shapes to meet ‘edge coverage’ requirements.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Robert Allen, Cam Endicott, Fook-Luen Heng, Jason Hibbeler, Kevin McCullen, Rani Narayan, Robert Walker, Xin Yuan
  • TECHNOLOGY MIGRATION FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS WITH RADICAL DESIGN RESTRICTIONS
    Publication number: 20070198961
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for migrating an integrated circuit (IC) design from a source technology without radical design restrictions (RDR) to a target technology with RDR, are disclosed. Also, a method, system and program product for migrating an integrated circuit design from a source technology without RDR to a target technology with RDR in which space may be reserved for late insertion of a feature and in which migration first occurs in a primary compaction direction having less tolerant ground rules.
