  • Designing an integrated circuit to improve yield using a variant design element
    Patent number: 7487474
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is designed to improve yield when manufacturing the integrated circuit, by obtaining a design element from a set of design elements used in designing integrated circuits. A variant design element is created based on the obtained design element, where a feature of the obtained design element is modified to create the variant design element. A yield to area ratio for the variant design element is determined. If the yield to area ratio of the variant design element is greater than a yield to area ratio of the obtained design element, the variant design element is retained to be used in designing the integrated circuit.
