Abstract

Disclosed is a method and system for clock tree construction across clock domains, an integrated circuit and fabrication method thereof. A method for clock tree construction includes acquiring a netlist describing an integrated circuit (IC), comprising data for describing physical locations and logic connections of clock sinks belonging to multiple clock domains on the pattern of the IC, and constructing the clock tree across clock domains based on the netlist, such that clock cells belonging to different clock domains can share more physical locations. Accordingly, clock trees can be constructed across clock domains to improve IC performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to integrated circuit (IC) design, and more particularly, to a method and system for constructing a clock tree, an integrated circuit and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] A typical digital IC can contain a large number of logic elements and other circuits to implement its logic functions. Additionally, the IC chip may contain a clock tree (ie, a clock signal distribution network) for distributing a clock signal received at its input to all clock sinks that are clocked by that clock signal. A clock tree may include wires, buffers, etc. to distribute clock signals that control the timing and operation of the IC's logic elements and other circuits. The clock receiver (or receiver) refers to the logic elements and other circuits contained in the IC that are controlled by the clock signal to increase the capacity of the clock tree, such as registers (flip-flops), RAM, latches, etc. The receivers c...
