Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and specifically to a method and system for calculating the number of devices that meet certain conditions. Background Technology

[0002] Layout design is the process of realizing the logical functions of a circuit through physical layers, similar to architectural blueprint design. It uses EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools to define the shape, size, and position of each process layer. Different layers of process graphics are superimposed and arranged and wired to form a complete integrated circuit structure. Layout design plays a crucial role in information visualization, helping to present complex information clearly and efficiently. A well-designed layout can greatly enhance the effectiveness of information delivery, helping viewers understand and absorb information more quickly. In the semiconductor industry, layout design is the process of realizing the logical functions of a circuit through physical layers, including chip layout, routing, and size determination. The main types of layout components include: Resistors: Resistors are one of the most common components in analog layout design. Capacitors: Capacitors also play an important role in analog layout design. The types and design requirements of capacitors are similar to those of resistors, and the specific design methods also involve two-terminal connections and the addition of dummy layers. Transistors and diodes: These devices are used in analog circuits for signal amplification and rectification. Transistor design requires consideration of the connection methods of its base, emitter, and collector, while diodes are mainly used for unidirectional conduction. Inductors: Inductors are commonly used in high-frequency circuits for filtering and matching networks. Their design requires consideration of factors such as the number of turns, diameter, and spacing of the coil. Special devices such as ESD devices, PADs, SEAL-RINGs, and FUSE: These devices also play important roles in chip design. For example, ESD devices protect circuits from electrostatic damage, SEAL-RINGs protect chip packages, and FUSE provides overcurrent protection.

[0003] When creating a layout, there is often a need to calculate the quantity of certain types of components, such as capacitors to fill blank areas. However, conventional methods might require generating a tree file or using a global search function followed by manual calculation, which is prone to errors and requires multiple steps, making the process cumbersome and inefficient.

[0044] When creating a layout, there is often a need to calculate the quantity of certain types of components, such as capacitors to fill blank areas. However, conventional methods might require generating a tree file or using a global search function followed by manual calculation, which is prone to errors and requires multiple steps, making the process cumbersome and inefficient.

[0045] This invention can improve layout execution efficiency, reduce unnecessary operation steps, and meet the same functional requirements in different processes and technologies. This script allows operators to load the script in the CIW window or add it to the Virtuoso shortcut key without generating a tree file or performing a global search and manual calculation. They only need to call up the dialog box and enter any required device attributes to get the desired results.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] A method for calculating the number of eligible devices, see reference. Figure 1 ,include:

[0048] S100, obtain map information;

[0049] Circuit layout information includes the size of the integrated circuit, the topology definition of each layer, and all physical information about the devices. In this embodiment of the invention, the obtained layout information is the information of the layout for which the number of devices needs to be calculated. Calculating the number of a certain device based on the currently imported information can greatly improve the efficiency of layout drawing.

[0050] S200, obtain device information for the quantity to be calculated;

[0051] S300 calculates the number of eligible devices based on the layout information and the device information to be calculated.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the number of devices that meet the conditions can be quickly calculated simply by obtaining the layout information and device information that need to be calculated, which can greatly save calculation time and improve the accuracy of calculation.

[0053] Preferably, in step S100, obtaining the layout information includes:

[0054] Obtain the dimensions, structure, design rules, process, and layout requirements of the layout.

[0055] In circuit design, the layout information affecting the number of components mainly includes: Device size and structure: Transistor size: Channel length (L) and width (W) directly affect the number of devices and area. Source / drain area: The size of the diffusion region affects the device placement density. Design rule constraints: Minimum spacing rules: The minimum spacing between devices (such as metal, polysilicon, diffusion region spacing) limits the placement density. Layer alignment rules: The alignment requirements of contact / via with the active region may affect the device arrangement. Isolation rules: Isolation regions between devices (such as STI, N / P well spacing) occupy additional area. Interconnect resources: Number of metal layers: More metal layers can reduce wiring congestion, indirectly allowing for higher device density. Trace width and spacing: Wide traces or large spacing will occupy area and limit the number of devices. Via layout: Vias connecting different layers must meet design rules and may affect the device arrangement. Matching and symmetry requirements: Matching devices: Such as differential pairs or current mirrors require strictly symmetrical layout, which may increase redundancy space. Common centroid layout: High-performance circuits require devices to be arranged in a cross pattern, sacrificing area to reduce process deviations. Power Consumption and Heat Dissipation: Heat Dissipation Channels: High-power devices require reserved heat dissipation space (e.g., increased spacing or addition of dummy devices). Power / Ground Width: High-current paths require wide metal lines, occupying wiring resources. Process-Related Factors: Process Nodes: Advanced processes (e.g., 7nm, 5nm) allow for smaller device spacing but may introduce additional rules (e.g., the number of fins in FinFETs). Stacked Devices: Vertical integration of devices, such as 3DICs or stacked transistors, increases density. Cell Library and IP Modules: Standard Cell Height: The standard cell height of digital circuits (e.g., 12T, 9T) determines the number of devices per row. Hardcore IP: Pre-designed IP modules (e.g., SRAM, ADC) occupy a fixed area, affecting remaining space. Redundancy and Yield Optimization: Redundant Devices: Spare devices may be added to improve yield (e.g., redundant cells in memory). Dummy Devices: Filling edges to ensure etching uniformity increases the total number of devices. Packaging Constraints: I / O Layout: Pads and ESD devices occupy edge areas, limiting the number of devices in the core area.

[0056] Thermal packaging: The heat dissipation capacity of the packaging may limit the feasibility of high-density devices.

[0057] Preferably, in step S200, obtaining the device information for the number to be calculated includes:

[0058] Get the device name and device attributes.

[0059] Device attributes are key parameters defining a device's physical structure, electrical characteristics, and process constraints. These attributes directly affect the device's performance, compatibility, reliability, and layout. Device attributes include: geometric attributes, electrical attributes, and process-related attributes: Layer information: the process layer it belongs to (e.g., Poly, Diffusion, Metal1, etc.) and its photomask definition. Design rule constraints: rules such as minimum spacing, minimum width, and enclosure. Antenna effect rules: restrictions on the ratio of gate connection area to metal area. Functional and labeling attributes: Device type: NMOS, PMOS, resistor, capacitor, diode, etc. Tags: device name, network connection relationship. Simulation parameters: parameters in the SPICE model (e.g., L / W scaling factor defined by PDK).

[0060] Preferably, in step S300, calculating the number of devices that meet the conditions based on the layout information and the device information to be calculated includes:

[0061] S310 defines the device properties that need to be calculated;

[0062] S320 sets the metal layer of the device;

[0063] S330, sets the insertion range of the device;

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, before searching for the number of devices that meet the conditions, it is necessary to input the device attributes, the metal level of the device, and the insertion range of the device before an accurate search can be performed. This invention does not require manual calculation; it only requires a unified script to complete the calculation of the number of all types of devices. It can meet different manufacturing processes and different technologies, has a very wide range of applications, and has high calculation efficiency. It can avoid multiple operations caused by manual calculation errors and greatly improve the calculation efficiency of devices.

[0065] S340 calculates the number of devices that meet the set conditions.

[0066] The editable areas in the dialog box from top to bottom are lib_name, cell_name, view_name, level, and selection. The first three lists correspond to the device attributes to be calculated: library name, cell name, and view name, respectively. Their default value is "nil" (empty). After deleting "nil", fill in the corresponding dialog box list as needed. The fourth list, level, is the layer, with two modes to choose from: the default is currentlv (current layer); the other is crtobtlv (from the current layer to the bottom layer). The fifth list is selection, which is the region selection, with two modes to choose from: the default is full_selection (global selection); the other is scope_selection (range selection). The selections in the fourth and fifth lists can be combined in pairs.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, it is first determined whether the searchform has been defined: procedure(mosaic_statistics())

[0068] let((lbnmcenmvinmlevelcyclicselectcyclicsearchform)if(!boundp('searchform)||(searchform==nil)then.

[0069] Preferably, in step S310, the device properties to be calculated include:

[0070] Define the library name, cell name, and view name of the device.

[0071] In integrated circuit design (especially when using EDA tools), library names, cell names, and view names are key identifiers for hierarchically organizing design data, uniquely distinguishing different design units and their representations. A library is a container for storing related design units, typically categorized by project, process node, or functional module. Library names include: a process library, a standard cell library, or a custom IP library. Library names are used to manage design units from different sources or for different purposes (e.g., PDK libraries provided by process manufacturers vs. user-defined libraries). A cell is the basic design unit in a library, representing a specific circuit or physical structure. Examples include: an inverter, an operational amplifier, or a memory module. In hierarchical design, cells can be nested within other cells. A view is a different representation or abstraction level of a cell, used at different design stages. Common view types include: schematic: circuit schematic (logic connections); layout: physical layout (geometry and process layers); symbol: symbolic representation (used for schematic calls); abstract: abstract view (e.g., LEF view used for P&R); verilog: RTL or gate-level netlist; spice: transistor-level netlist (for simulation).

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, right-click on the desktop, click OpenTerminalHere, start Virtuoso in the Terminal, and load the script to calculate the number of devices that meet the conditions. (1) In Virtuoso, open the layout that needs to be edited and define the library name:

[0073] lbnm=hiCreateStringField(

[0074] ?name'lbnm

[0075] ?prompt“lib_name”

[0076] )?defValue“nil”

[0077] ).

[0078] Define cell name:

[0079] cenm=hiCreateStringField(

[0080] ?name'cenm

[0081] ?prompt“cell_name”

[0082] ?defValue“nil”

[0083] ).

[0084] Define the view name:

[0085] vinm=hiCreateStringField(

[0086] ?name'vinm

[0087] ?prompt "view_name"

[0088] ?defValue“nil”

[0089] ).

[0090] Preferably, in step S320, setting the metal layers of the device includes:

[0091] Select the metal layer of the device as the current layer or from the current layer to the bottom layer.

[0092] The metal layers of a device refer to the interconnecting metal layers used to connect devices (such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) and modules during chip manufacturing. The number and structure of metal layers directly affect the chip's performance, power consumption, area, and manufacturing cost. Metal layers provide electrical connections between devices (such as signal, power, and ground lines), reduce wiring congestion, increase integration density, and optimize signal transmission speed (by reducing RC delay). Each metal layer consists of metal traces and vias (vertical channels connecting different metal layers). Metal layers include: Signal layers: transmit logic signals (typically narrow with small spacing). Power / Ground layers: provide global power and ground networks (typically wider, reducing IRDrop and electromigration risks). Clock layers: dedicated high-frequency clock wiring (requires low impedance and shielding design). Modern processes (such as 7nm, 5nm) typically have 10-15 metal layers, while mature processes (such as 28nm) may only have 6-9 layers. Some processes introduce intermediate layers or semi-global layers. Metal layers are the core of chip interconnects, and their design must balance performance (RC delay), power consumption, area (wiring density), and cost (number of layers).

[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, two levels can be provided for the user to choose from:

[0094] levelcyclic=hiCreateCyclicField(

[0095] ?name'levelcyclic

[0096] ?prompt "level"?value "currentlv"?choiceslist("currentlv" "crtobtlv")

[0097] ).

[0098] Preferably, in step S330, setting the insertion range of the device includes:

[0099] Choose whether to insert the device globally or in a specific region.

[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, the fifth list is selection, which is a region selection. There are two modes to choose from: the default value is full_selection, which is a global selection; the other mode is scope_selection, which is a range selection.

[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, two ranges are provided for the user to choose from:

[0102] selectcyclic=hiCreateCyclicField(

[0103] ?name'selectcyclic

[0104] ?prompt "selection"

[0105] )?value "full_selection"?choiceslist("full_selection" "scope_selection")

[0106] ).

[0107] Preferably, in step S340, calculating the number of devices that meet the set conditions includes:

[0108] S341 assigns the device's properties to a function variable;

[0109] S342, uses the metal level and insertion range as limiting conditions;

[0110] S343 uses the function leSearchHierarchy to search for devices that meet the criteria;

[0111] S344 outputs the number of devices that meet the criteria.

[0112] Define the dialog box to be displayed:

[0113] searchform=hiCreateAppForm(

[0114] ?name'searchform

[0115] ?formTitle "mosatic_statistics"?fieldslist(lbnmcenmvinmlevelcyclicselectcyclic)

[0116] ?callback "sandc()"

[0117] ?buttonLayout'OKCancel )

[0119] ); if

[0120] hiDisplayForm('searchform')

[0121] );;let

[0122] );;pro.

[0123] Retrieve the CLV ID and Window ID, and obtain the library name, cell name, view name, hierarchy, and scope information from the dialog box, then assign these values ​​to variables:

[0124] procedure(sandc()let((cvwininstslibnamecellnameviewnamelevelselectionobjobj_instsobj_mosaiccordx1x2y1y2comb_instsnu)cv=geGetEditRep()win=hiGetCurrentWindow()libname=se archform->lbnm->valuecellname=searchform->cenm->valueviewname=searchform->vinm->valuelevel=searchform->levelcyclic->valueselection=searchform->selectcyclic->valuecond(.

[0134] nu=0

[0135] foreach(obj11obj_mosaicnu=nu+(obj11~>rows)*(obj11~>columns))

[0136] Adding the two together gives the corresponding quantity:

[0137] nu = nu + length(obj_insts) )

[0139] Select local range:

[0140] (selection=="scope_selection"cord=enterBox() The user selects a range and gets the bbox:

[0142] Combine the insts's ID and his bbox into a new list:

[0143] insts=setof(inst11comb_instscaar(nth(1inst11))>=x1&&cadar(nth(1inst11))>=y1&&caadr(nth(1inst11))<=x2&&cadadr(nth( 1inst11))<=y2)obj=setof(obj11instsnth(0obj11)~>libName==libname&&nth(0obj11)~>cellName==cellname&&nth(0obj11)~>vie wName==viewname)obj_insts=setof(obj11objnth(0obj11)~>objType==”inst”)obj_mosatic=setof(obj11objnth(0obj11)~>objTyp e==”mosaic”)nu=0foreach(obj11obj_mosaicnu=nu+(nth(0obj11)~>rows)*(nth(0obj11)~>columns))nu=nu+length(obj_insts))))
