Embodiment Construction

[0025] as attached figure 1 Shown, the concrete realization process of the present invention is as follows:

[0026] Ø Step (101), call all units according to the hierarchical relationship, sort topologically, and go to step (102).

[0027] Ø Step (102), according to the topological sequence, take out the next unprocessed unit, go to step (103).

[0028] Ø Step (103), judging whether the current unit contains subunit arrays or instances, if so, go to step (104), otherwise the current unit does not operate, and directly goes to step (110).

[0029] Ø Step (104), temporarily expand the array of subunits into Instance, save it in the temporary Instance container, and go to step (105).

[0030] Ø Step (105), sort the Instances in the temporary Instance container according to the placement point coordinates of the Instances, and go to step (106). The method of Instance topological sorting is as follows: according to the coordinates of the Instance placement points, they are firs...

Abstract

The invention discloses a subunit array splicing pretreatment method of a very large scale integrated circuit layout hierarchy comparison tool, belongs to the semiconductor integrated circuit design automation field, and is mainly used for comparing the difference among integrated circuit layouts in rear end design. According to the pretreatment method, the problem that the layouts are disordered because of too many comparison tools when the subunit arrays among hierarchy layouts are inconsistent, thereby raising hierarchy layout comparison efficiency. The process comprises the steps of dispersing the array in each subunit in the layout as an instance (Instance), and ordering the instance with original instances of each subunit; when traversing ordered instances, constructing a Y-direction equal interval instance set and an X-direction equal interval instance set according to the position relation among the dispose points of the back and forth instances; after traversing, creating a new array and a residual instance after splicing according to the X-direction equal interval instance set and the Y-direction equal interval instance set to replace the original array and instance.

Description

technical field [0001] A very large-scale integrated circuit layout level comparison tool belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit design automation back-end design, and relates to a layout subunit array splicing preprocessing method in the difference comparison operation of integrated circuit layout. Background technique [0002] Integrated circuit layout difference comparison is an operation frequently performed in the layout design and manufacturing process, and is usually used to screen the differences in graphics and text between two approximate layouts. [0003] During the design process, the layout is usually represented by a hierarchical structure, and the layout is composed of multiple cells (Cell). Units contain graphics, text data and instances of calling subunits (Instance). The main input data for the layout comparison tool is hierarchical layout data. [0004] There are two kinds of layout comparison tools: hierarchical comparison tool and sca...
