Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for processing an integrated circuit layout. Background technique
[0002] In order to improve competitiveness, the layout of integrated circuits often requires shrinking experiments. For example, the shrinking experiment of the IP core (intellectual property core) mainly shrinks the internal cell array to test whether the function is still normal, which is especially useful when the tape-out test is performed in a short time.
[0003] see Figure 1a , which is a layout of an IP core, including a cell array 10 and peripheral circuits 20 located in the central area. see Figure 1b , after the shrinking experiment, an annular blank area 30 is formed between the reduced cell array 10' and the peripheral circuit 20. Originally, there are many connections between the cell array 10 and the peripheral circuit 20 . The connections between the reduced cell array 10' and the peripheral circuits 20 are all disconnecte...
