Abstract
Systems for place and route methodology integrating resistors into CMOS circuits includes: a processor, memory operatively coupled to the processor, and a place and route module included within the memory and configured to: determine that a CMOS circuit requires one or more resistors, determine, for each of the one or more resistors, a layout for a pcres device to include within the CMOS circuit, and add the one or more resistors to the CMOS circuit, including placing and routing, for each of the one or more resistors, components of the pcres device within the CMOS circuit.
