More Information
Summary:Methods for integrated circuit design are provided. In one embodiment, a method for determining a physical layout pattern includes accessing a layout pattern configuration graph. The graph includes layout pattern configurations meeting a circuit requirements. At least two of the layout pattern configurations are annotated with characteristics by analyzing sample layout patterns. An integrated circuit electrical design is partitioned into circuit design configurations. One of the circuit design configurations meets one of the circuit requirements. One of the layout pattern configurations is selected from the layout pattern configuration graph to meet the selected circuit requirements. In another embodiment, a method for determining a netlist for an integrated circuit electrical design is provided. In a further embodiment, a method for determining a tool configuration for a manufacturing process is provided.
