Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of PDK development, and particularly to a method for efficiently compiling and updating PDK, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] A PDK (Process Design Kit) is a semiconductor process design kit and a very important information transfer medium file library in the semiconductor industry. As a bridge between IC design companies, foundries, and EDA (Electronic Design Automation) manufacturers, the PDK describes semiconductor process detail files through foundries for use by chip design EDA tools. A PDK package usually contains design rule files, electrical rule files, layout layer definition files, SPICE simulation models, device layouts, and parameterized cells (pcells), etc. These contents together constitute the key factors for foundries to convey producible indicators to each IC design company.

[0003] However, in practical applications, due to the frequent update of PDK, especially for the pcell code related to the design layout, the traditional encryption process is complex and time-consuming. For updating a single device, especially in the scenario of debugging, the whole package compilation time is long, and it is difficult to quickly present the modified effect, so it is difficult to quickly and accurately iterate and provide a standard package to IC designers. Therefore, how to accelerate the iterative release of PDK development and improve the pcell debugging efficiency has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for efficient compilation and update of a PDK is provided, including: establishing a PDK resource file library; identifying a target file updated by a user from the PDK resource file library through a built-in determination system, and marking the target file; performing an encryption operation on the PCell code of the marked target file; using a file management system to compile the encrypted data and update it into a PDK structure package in a standardized PDK directory; after confirming the successful update through the determination system, packaging the PDK structure package to generate a PDK installation package.

[0038] Figure 1 For the method for efficient compilation and update of a PDK according to an embodiment of the present invention, the following will be combined with Figure 1 to further describe the method for efficient compilation and update of the PDK of the present invention in detail.

[0039] First, in step 101, establish a PDK resource file library. Create a PDK resource file library for storing and managing all PDK-related files, that is, this PDK resource file library should contain all relevant files of the PDK, such as PyCell files, process files, rule files, etc.

[0040] In some exemplary embodiments, a version control system or a file storage system can be used to establish the PDK resource file library.

[0041] In some exemplary embodiments, the step of establishing the PDK resource file library further includes: creating a PyCell directory area in the PDK resource file library, and the PyCell directory area is used to store PCell source data.

[0042] In step 102, identify the target files to be updated and mark them. Identify the target files updated by the user through a built-in determination system and mark them (which can be specific tags or metadata in the file attributes, etc.).

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, develop a built-in determination system that can automatically scan the PDK resource file library and determine whether a file is a target file that the user needs to update based on the modification time, version number, or other identifiers of the file.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the step of identifying the target files updated by the user through the built-in determination system and marking the target files further includes: establishing a marking area in the file management system, and the marking area is used to highlight the files that the user needs to update. The file management system can be developed based on Python or Shell scripts and is used for automated processing of encrypted files.

[0045] In step 103, perform an encryption operation on the PCell code of the marked target files.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, quickly encrypt the marked target files through an encryption module (python encryption library).

[0047] In step 104, a temporary directory workspace is created, and the encrypted data is compiled within the temporary directory workspace and updated to the standardized PDK directory. In this step, a temporary directory workspace is created in the file management system, which will serve as the working directory for the compilation and update operations, ensuring that the files during the compilation process do not affect the original data in the resource file library. The temporary directory workspace also serves as the working directory for the script and the root directory for data storage, and different data is stored in different directories. The python code source files that need to be updated are compiled within the temporary directory workspace, and the compiled files are updated to the PDK structure package in the standardized PDK directory, so that the finally packaged PDK installation package conforms to the predefined standardized structure, facilitating subsequent use and maintenance.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the step of compiling the python code source files within the temporary directory workspace further includes:

[0049] Compiling the PyCell files in the PDK resource file library, automatically using the compilation commands provided by the compilation system to perform the compilation according to the flag bits provided by the determination system;

[0050] During the compilation process, the process technology files required for compilation are provided by the file management system, and the operation of loading the process technology files is performed in the compilation system;

[0051] For the log files generated by third-party tools during the compilation process, they are retained in the temporary directory workspace created in the file management system.

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, this step further includes: synchronizing the updated compressed package (including the compiled files and other updated contents) to the existing standardized PDK structure package to ensure that the PDK installation package remains up-to-date and conforms to the standardized directory structure and file format at the same time; repackaging the synchronized PDK structure package to generate the final PDK installation package.

[0053] In step 105, it is judged whether the update is successful. The updated files are checked through the built-in determination system to confirm whether the update is successful.

[0054] In step 106, a window is launched to display the effect after the update.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, built-in script commands can be used to open a visualization tool (EDA tool) to visually display the effect presented by the updated content.

[0056] The PDK efficient compilation and update method of the present invention can quickly implement the update of PCell code; based on the above process, the PCell code is updated, which accelerates the PDK development, improves the development efficiency of PDK, and reduces unnecessary repeated compilation behaviors.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device is further provided. Figure 2 As a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the electronic device of the present invention includes a processor 201 and a memory 202, wherein

[0058] The memory 202 stores a computer program, and when the computer program is read and executed by the processor 201, it executes the steps in the PDK efficient compilation and update method embodiment as described above.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is further provided, and a computer program is stored in the computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer program is set to execute the steps in the PDK efficient compilation and update method embodiment as described above when running.
