PARAMETERIZED CELL FOR PLANAR AND FINFET TECHNOLOGY DESIGN

摘要

A parameterized cell for planar and finFET designs is provided. A parameterized cell (Pcell) describing a planar design is integrated with fin-based design criteria, including fin pitch. For material regions in a planar design that have a corresponding region in a fin design, a quantized value based on the fin pitch is computed. The material can include regions such as active area silicon, contact regions, and local interconnect regions.

1. A method for adapting a planar design to a fin-based design, comprising:
receiving width information for a planar region; receiving a fin pitch value; and computing a quantized region width for a quantized region, based on the fin pitch value.
