  • Publication number: 20210165947
    Abstract: A layout method is provided. The layout method may include placing first and second standard cells from a standard cell library, interconnecting the placed standard cells to generate a layout draft, confirming placement and routing at a boundary region between the interconnected standard cells, and revising the layout draft based on the confirmation. Each of the standard cells includes, in part, a conductive line that extends in the first direction and is interconnected to an adjacent standard cell through a source/drain via. To confirm the placement and routing, a first spaced distance from a tip of one of the conductive lines to a tip of the other conductive line, and a second spaced distance from the tip of the first conductive line to the cell boundary are compared with preset threshold values. Revising the layout draft may include adjusting a tip position of one of the conductive lines.

  • Publication number: 20120242190
    Abstract: Provided is a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor sensing pressure, temperature, etc., by using a SAW. The SAW sensor includes: a substrate having one of its surfaces formed with a cavity having a predetermined depth; a piezoelectric plate which has piezoelectricity, so as to make a SAW, and which is adhered to the surface in which the cavity is formed, so as to cover the cavity of the substrate; a pressure resonator which is installed to a portion of the piezoelectric plate that corresponds to the cavity groove, and which generates a SAW due to a radio frequency (RF) signal applied thereto; and a reference resonator which is installed to the piezoelectric plate to be outside the portion corresponding to the cavity and be parallel to the pressure resonator, and which generates a SAW due to the RF signal applied thereto.
