Abstract

Moore's law requires the shrinking of physical dimensions of the transistors to roughly half their area every two years. This poses a tremendous challenge on how to print and manufacture these ever-shrinking physical components that make up the transistors and the interconnect - generation after process generation. One aspect of this challenge is that the process rules are exploding in complexity - directly translating into physical design EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool complexity. Traditional design rules governed the spacing, overlap or alignment of any two layout objects from this set: diffusion, poly, via cut, wire, etc. In this work we propose a solution that relies on grids (aka. Fabrics), models the design rules on those grids and presents them to the EDA tools in such a way that it minimizes the complexity cost on the tools' side. In an ideal situation, the proposed solution can completely decouple the tools from the process rules, i.e. even if the tools don't change at all, they'll still be able to support new process nodes.
通过使用设计结构进行规则不可知路由
摩尔定律要求每两年将晶体管的物理尺寸缩小一半左右。这对如何打印和制造这些不断缩小的组成晶体管和互连的物理组件提出了巨大的挑战。这一挑战的一个方面是过程规则的复杂性呈爆炸式增长——直接转化为物理设计EDA(电子设计自动化)工具的复杂性。传统的设计规则控制着这一集合中任意两个布局对象的间距、重叠或对齐:扩散、poly、via cut、wire等。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个依赖于网格的解决方案。fabric),对这些网格上的设计规则进行建模,并以最小化工具方面的复杂性成本的方式将它们呈现给EDA工具。在理想情况下,建议的解决方案可以将工具与流程规则完全解耦,也就是说,即使工具根本没有更改,它们仍然能够支持新的流程节点。
