Integrated Circuit Design Using Pre-Marked Circuit Element Object Library

A design tool system comprising:

• a schematic design system module configured to:
• insert a first circuit element object into a schematic design, wherein the first circuit element object comprises a plurality of first terminals, and wherein each of the first terminals has one of a plurality of first pre-assigned voltage values;
• and
• connect each of the first terminals to one or more second terminals, wherein each of the one or more second terminals correspond to one or more second circuit element objects;
• and
• a layout design system module configured to:
• generate a layout design from the schematic design in response to determining that the first pre-assigned voltage value of each of the first terminals matches a second pre-assigned voltage value of the one or more second terminals to which it is connected;
• and
• generate mask layer data in response to a determination that the layout design passes one or more verification tests, wherein the mask layer data is configured to generate a plurality of masks for construction of an integrated circuit corresponding to the schematic design.

A method of generating pre-marked circuit element objects and utilizing the pre-marked circuit element objects to construct an integrated circuit, the method comprising:

• generating a plurality of pre-marked circuit element objects based upon a semiconductor circuit element, wherein each of the plurality of pre-marked circuit element objects comprises a plurality of terminals, and wherein each of the terminals has one of a plurality of pre-assigned voltage values;
• inserting one or more of the plurality of pre-marked circuit element objects into a schematic design;
• and
• generating mask layer data based upon a layout design generated from the schematic design, wherein the mask layer data is configured to generate a plurality of masks for construction of an integrated circuit corresponding to the schematic design.
