Bound

 What are the types of bounds ?

There are two types of bounds move bound and group bound

& Move bounds means with definite coordinate if we created bound that's we called move bounds this are three types

  • Soft move bound: In optimization some cells are go out from the bound to meet timing QOR other logic cell comes and site in that bound
  • Hard move bound: The cells should not move out and other cells are allowed in that bound
  • Exclusive move bound : The cells not move out and other cells not allowed in that bound
  • Group bounds means without any location and coordination's group bounds are two types soft and hard group bounds.

Double patterning ?

Double patterning in VLSI:         Multi patterning also called double patterning ,double patterning is introduced 32nm and lowers layers 10nm,7nm etc.        Lithography pattern is a class of technologies for manufacturing IC's,developing for photolithography to enhance the feature of density and Optical microlithography (photolithography) is used for transferring the circuit patterns into silicon wafer.      We are use illuminator uv light to shine light through this mask producing an image of the pattern  through the lens system ,which eventually projected down into a photo resist coated silicon wafer using a protection system.      Double patterning is a technique that decomposes a single layout into two masks in order to increase pitch size and improve depth of focus.     Their resolution capabilities have fallen further and further behind the target minimum feature size per each advanced nodes.     their resolution capabilities have fallen further and further behind the targe

Synthesis Goals

                                                          SYNTHESIS           CONCETPTS 1.what is synthesis 2.synthesis input files 3.goals of synthesis 4.synthesis process 5. .synthesis output files 6.Types of synthesis “ Synthesis transforms the RTL code of design modules into a gate-level netlist”.  Important: This stage performs logic, area, power optimization, and scan insertion.  Synthesis input files: 1.      Timing library (.lib or .db) 2.      Physical Library (lef, Milkyway) 3.      SDC 4.      RTL 5.      DEF (For Physical aware Synthesis) 6.      TLU+(Synopsys), Qrc(cadence) file 7.      UPF Goal of Synthesis: 1.      Logic optimization with good QoR 2.      Scan insertion (DFT) 3.      Netlist generation 4.      Logical equivalence check should be preserved between the RTL and netlist   INPUTS : 1.      LIB:  The timing library (.lib) contains information related to the timing, power, and area of standard cells. It also contains different PVT characterizations of cells. 2.
