Layout DRC processing method of integrated circuit conversion process

Abstract

The invention discloses a layout DRC processing method of an integrated circuit conversion process, which comprises the following steps: A, exporting a layout unit needing to be modified in a design library of a process A to a GDS file X, and checking the GDS file X by using DRC checking of a process B; b, screening out a layer set C meeting inspection and a layer set D not meeting inspection in the GDS file X; C, newly establishing a design library of the process B, and importing the layer set C in the GDS file X into CELL E in the design library of the process B; D, adjusting a layer set D in the GDS file X to meet the DRC check of the process B, and outputting the adjusted layer set D to a GDS file Y. According to the method, the layout DRC problem of the integrated circuit conversion manufacturing process can be solved in batches, the situation that the layout is redrawn or the DRC is manually processed one by one is avoided, and the working efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit back-end design, in particular to a layout DRC processing method of an integrated circuit conversion process. Background technique [0002] In the design process of digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits, in order to reduce the power consumption and area of ​​digital circuits, etc., it is necessary to convert the entire design to a smaller feature size process for redesign. Usually, the design of the conversion process can be quickly completed through APR for the digital part of the layout, but the layout modification after the conversion process of the analog part of the layout becomes very complicated, and hundreds of DRC problems will be encountered, but they are often some simple spacing and line width issues. It is possible to re-use the B process for analog layout design, or to modify the DRC problems one by one, but these two methods require a lot of time and effort, and cann...

Usually, the design of the conversion process can be quickly completed through APR for the digital part of the layout, but the layout modification after the conversion process of the analog part of the layout becomes very complicated, and hundreds of DRC problems will be encountered, but they are often some simple spacing and line width issues

You can re-use the B process for analog layout design, or modify the DRC problems one by one, but these two methods require a lot of time and effort, and cannot be completed in the short term
