Cell-based design methodologies have dominated layout generation of
digital circuits. Unfortunately, the growing demands for
transparent process portability, increased performance, and
low-level device sizing for timing/power are poorly handled in a
fixed cell library. Direct Transistor-Level Layout For Digital
Blocks proposes a direct transistor-level layout approach for small
blocks of custom digital logic as an alternative that better
accommodates demands for device-level flexibility. This approach
captures essential shape-level optimizations, yet scales easily to
netlists with thousands of devices, and incorporates timing
optimization during layout. The key idea is early identification of
essential diffusion-merged MOS device groups, and their
preservation in an uncommitted geometric form until the very end of
detailed placement. Roughly speaking, essential groups are
extracted early from the transistor-level netlist, placed globally,
optimized locally, and then finally committed each to a specific
shape-level form while concurrently optimizing for both density and
routability. The essential flaw in prior efforts is an
over-reliance on geometric assumptions from large-scale cell-based
layout algorithms. Individual transistors may seem simple, but they
do not pack as gates do. Algorithms that ignore these shape-level
issues suffer the consequences when thousands of devices are poorly
packed. The approach described in this book can pack devices much
more densely than a typical cell-based layout. Direct
Transistor-Level Layout For Digital Blocks is a comprehensive
reference work on device-level layout optimization, which will be
valuable to CAD tool and circuit designers.
