  • Publication number: 20240106617
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide multiple cell activation. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a wireless network, a command to activate multiple cells simultaneously. In response, the UE initiates cell activation procedures for the multiple cells. The cell activation procedures include waiting for an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication. The UE monitors for the active TCI indication on any of the multiple cells. In response to receiving the active TCI indication on a first cell of the multiple cells, the UE determines one or more second cells of the multiple cells that share a same spatial relationship with the first cell according to one or more predetermined rule, and autonomously continues the cell activation procedures for the first cell and the one or more second cells.

  • Patent number: 7979811
    Abstract: Intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts are generated based upon an original non-resolution enhanced layout of an integrated circuit and an associated resolution-enhanced layout. The intermediate resolution-enhancement state layout includes fragments corresponding to parts of the original layout and biases associated with the fragments, where the biases indicate distances between the fragments and the resolution-enhanced layout. The fragments are also assigned attributes such as fragment type, fragment location, and biases. The intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts can be combined to generate the layout for a full chip IC. Two or more intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts are assembled and are locally reconverged to adjust the resolution enhancement associated with the intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts and obtain the intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts for the full IC.

  • Publication number: 20050229130
    Abstract: An automated design for manufacturability platform for integrated physical verification and manufacturing enhancement operations. Given original layouts and one or more associated resolution-enhanced layouts, intermediate resolution-enhancement state layouts are reconstructed, and selective localized resolution-enhancement reconfigurations, modifications, and/or perturbations are introduced on any existing enhancements in order to improve manufacturability and yield.

  • Patent number: 6011911
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for efficiently performing hierarchical design rules checks (DRC) and layout versus schematic comparison (LVS) on layout areas of an integrated circuit where cells overlap or where a cell and local geometry overlap. With the present invention, a hierarchical tree describes the integrated circuit's layout data including cells having parent-child relationships and including local geometry. The present invention performs efficient layout verification by performing LVS and DRC checking on the new portions of an integrated circuit design and layout areas containing overlapping cells. When instances of cells overlap, the present invention determines the overlap area using predefined data structures that divide each cell into an array of spatial bins. Each bin of a parent is examined to determine if two or more cell instances reside therein or if a cell instance and local geometry reside therein.

  • Patent number: 6009251
    Abstract: A method and system for performing layout verification on an integrated circuit (IC) design using reusable subdesigns. Many custom designed integrated circuits are designed and fabricated using a number of computer implemented automatic design processes. Within these processes, a high level design language (e.g., HDL or VHDL) description of the integrated circuit can be translated by a computer system into a netlist of technology specific gates and interconnections there between. The cells of the netlist are then placed spatially in an integrated circuit layout and the connections between the cells are routed using computerized place and route processes. Circuit designers next run layout verification tests on the layout to verify that the geometry and connectivity data of the design meets specific design rules and matches logically with the schematic representation.
