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.
