STITCHED IC CHIP LAYOUT DESIGN STRUCTURE

摘要

Stitched integrated circuit (IC) chip layout design structures are disclosed. In one embodiment, a design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process includes: an integrated circuit (IC) chip exceeding a size of a photolithography tool field, the IC chip layout including: a plurality of stitched regions including at least one redundant stitched region or at least one unique stitched region; and for each stitched region: a boundary identification identifying a boundary of the stitched region at which stitching occurs.
