INRICHTING MET ONDER HOGE DICHTHEID HIERIN OPGENOMEN GEINTEGREERDE SCHAKELINGEN.

摘要

The invention relates to a concept of metallisation for the production of integrated circuit devices in which the components of the integrated circuit are arranged in cells (17) which are all identical, non-functional and assembled in a matrix (14). Components of adjacent cells are interconnected by a metallic sub-network (22) forming blocks (23: 231...2315) representing predetermined logic functions. The blocks (23) have input-output terminals (26) at predetermined points, by which they are interconnected by a metallic sub-network (24:241...). The cells and blocks each have a symmetry with respect to the two axes of the matrix, so that the metallisation is minimal and the distribution may be more concentrated. The invention is applicable more particularly to LSI devices.
