Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) design, in particular to a design method for quickly constructing a power supply network in back-end design and optimizing it to achieve the best design effect. Background technique
[0002] Today, with the advent of deep sub-micron and nanoscale processes, it is possible to integrate the entire system on a single chip, and the challenges caused by this are rapidly intensifying the difficulty of design. One of them is that as the device density and clock frequency increase, so does the switching current carried by the power and ground nets, which in turn leads to an increase in power density, thus requiring more routing resources to arrange the power nets, and at the same time, As the scale of the chip increases, a large number of wires are caused. Chip area and cost are closely linked. As the area of ββthe chip increases, its manufacturing cost continues to in...
