Analog layout module generator and method

摘要

In a computer implemented method of device layout in an integrated circuit design an array having a plurality of cells is selected and stored in a memory of a computer. A schematic view of a plurality of interconnected circuit devices of a circuit is displayed on the computer's display. One or more of the circuit devices of the displayed schematic view are selected by a user. Responsive to the selection of each circuit device, a processing means of the computer populates an empty cell of the array in the memory of the computer with a corresponding layout instance of the circuit device, wherein each layout instance represents a physical arrangement of material(s) that form the corresponding selected circuit device.
