Standard cell development flow

Abstract

Describes the new standard-cell development flow, being used at Philips Components Nijmegen. The new flow will integrate all aspects of developing a standard-cell library into one program, resulting in a dramatic decrease in development effort and providing the user with a quick release of an errorfree library. Quality is maintained by virtue of a built-in quality control tool. A stick-editor will reduce layout efforts to a few minutes per cell.<>
