Estimating the term…
A computer-implemented method of fabricating an integrated circuit structure includes selecting a first cell from a standard cell library, the first cell having a cell boundary and comprising a metal segment at a first metal track at a metal layer, the metal segment extending along a direction and terminating a specified distance beyond a first edge of the cell boundary. The method further includes placing the first cell at a first location of a physical layout for the integrated circuit structure. The method also includes selecting a second cell from the standard cell library and placing the second cell at a second location of the physical layout such that a second edge of a cell boundary of the second cell abuts the first edge of the cell boundary of the first cell, and wherein the metal segment extends into a metal track at the metal layer of the second cell.
An integrated circuit structure comprising:
A computer-implemented method of fabricating an integrated circuit structure using a standard cell library, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a set of executable instructions, the set of executable instructions to manipulate a computer system to perform a portion of a process to design at least a portion of an integrated circuit structure, the set of executable instructions including instructions to manipulate the computer system to:
