Abstract: A 7-track standard cell library having a layout architecture that is designed for fabrication technologies having design rules of 0.12 microns or smaller. The cells are laid out using a routing grid having horizontal and vertical grid spacings of 0.4 microns, such that the height of each 7-track standard cell is 2.8 microns (i.e., seven track spacings based on a horizontal grid spacing of 0.4 microns). Power rails are implemented using M1 structures. The seven-track cell height is divided into four tracks on the P-side and three tracks on the N-side. Complex cells include one internal connection line (structure) formed using the third metal layer (M3) that is introduced in a predetermined track (e.g., the second track from the top of the cell) to facilitate the seven-track layout.

Abstract: Scan chain routing efficiency is improved in an integrated circuit (IC) such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) by defining flip flop groupings prior to place and route. A flip flop grouping specifies the arrangement of multiple flip flops and the scan chain routing through those flip flops. The predetermined flip flop arrangement of the flip flop grouping then prevents undesirable flip flop placements during place and route. The flip flop grouping therefore minimizes the layout impacts of scan insertion while simplifying the place and route process. Different flip flop groupings can be used in a single IC design, and flip flop groupings can be combined with individual flip flops in the IC layout. A flip flop grouping can include control logic for the flip flops. Clock gating logic can be offloaded from the flip flops into the control logic to further improve layout efficiency.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of bonding substantially non-fluorinated polymeric material to dissimilar polymers, particularly fluoropolymer materials, utilizing a bonding composition comprising base-treated amine group-containing substantially non-fluorinated polymer.
