H CELL

 A technique begins with listing all the std cells and adding certain other cells based on some criteria.

Any cell contains several thousands of devices and placed multiple times, is a good candidate for the HCell list.

And Some people use hcell is a design methodology ,Where thousands of cells with same name in the layout and source are expected to macth at the cell level.

QUESTION&ANSWERS

  Q 1: What are the goals of Synthesis ? There are Mainly three goals of synthesis without changing the functionality Reduce the area (chip cost reduce) Increase performance Reduce the power Q 2: What are the Tech dependent inputs in PNR There are three main tech depended inputs Physical libraries    -->format is .lef     --->given by vendors Technology file       -->format is .tf       --->given by fabrication peoples TLU+ file                   -->format is .TLUP-->given by fabrication people Q 3: What are the Design dependent inputs in PNR There are six main design depended inputs Logical libraries      --> format is .lib    --->given by Vendors Netlist          ...
