Abstract: DFM systems are provided that incorporate manufacturing variations in the analysis of integrated circuits by calculating predicted manufacturing variations on the shapes of interconnects and devices of the drawn layout of a circuit design. The shape variation on interconnects is converted to variations in resistor-capacitor (RC) parasitics. The shape variation on devices is converted to variations in device parameters. The variation in device parameters and wire parasitics is converted to changes in timing performance, signal integrity, and power consumption by determining the impact of device parameter and wire parasitic variations on the behavior of each instance of a standard cell. The results from these analyses are integrated back into the design flow as incremental delay files (timing), noise failures and buffer insertion/driver resizing commands (noise), and leakage power hotspots and cell substitution commands (power consumption).

Abstract: Systems and methods for timing-driven shape closure in integrated circuit (“IC”) fabrication are provided. These Integrated Design-Manufacturing Processes (“IDMP”) include a delta flow that integrates information of the IC fabrication timing and geometry verification processes into the IC design. The delta flow is an incremental flow that includes delta-geometry timing prediction processes and/or delta-timing shape prediction processes for processing difference information associated with circuit characterization parameters. The delta flow independently re-characterizes an IC design using the difference or delta information corresponding to the circuit characterization parameters. The delta flow provides delta outputs (incremental) that enhance or re-characterize corresponding parameters of the devices and interconnect structures without the need to generate new circuit characterization parameters and without the need to re-process all information of the IC design.

Abstract: A novel parasitic extraction system includes an interconnect primitive library that has a parameterized inductance function for at least one conducting layer of the integrated circuit. A parasitic extractor analyzes structures within a selected distance of a selected conductor within the integrated circuit and determines parasitic inductance values for the selected conductor using the parameterized inductance function of the interconnect primitive library. Using this parasitic extraction system, parasitic impedances, including inductance, may be extracted for an integrated circuit layout, thus allowing more accurate modeling and timing analysis of the integrated circuit layout to be obtained.

Abstract: A method models conductive regions of a semiconductor substrate in conjunction with conductors in the interconnect structures above the semiconductor substrate. Such a method allows highly accurate extraction of capacitance in planar (e.g., shallow trench isolation) and non-planar (e.g., thermal oxide isolation) semiconductor structures. This method is particularly applicable to modeling dummy diffusion regions prevalent in shallow trench isolation structures. An area-perimeter approach simplifies calculation of capacitance without using a 3-dimensional electric field solver. A method is also provided for extracting a capacitance associate with a contact, or a connecting conductor between two conductor layers.
