Patents by Inventor Manfred Selz

Manfred Selz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Semiconductor chip, fabrication method, and device for fabricating a semiconductor chip
    Patent number: 6870206
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip has standard cells arranged in a plurality of mutually adjacent rows. Each standard cell is connected by a plurality of tracks for connection to other elements of the semiconductor chip and/or terminals of the semiconductor chip. The power supply tracks of the standard cells of at least one row of standard cells are shortened in such a way that the tracks terminate in the region of a standard cell at the edge of the row.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2005
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Manfred Selz, Michael Wagner
  • Semiconductor chip, method and apparatus for fabricating the semiconductor chip
    Publication number: 20030160268
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip has standard cells which are disposed in a plurality of mutually adjacent rows, wiring channels are disposed between the rows and at at least one location along at least one wiring channel, the width of the wiring channel determined by a prescribed unambiguous and variable assignment specification. The width of the wiring channels can thus be varied in a flexible manner, so that a circuit can be fabricated in a space-saving manner.
