INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN, CONTEXTUAL CELLS, DESIGN MIGRATION, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028809 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN, CONTEXTUAL CELLS, DESIGN MIGRATION, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for generating an integrated circuit design. This method involves creating a contextual cell that includes a super-master and defining at least one sub-master derived from parameterized values and the context of an instance of the super-master.

  • The method involves generating an integrated circuit design.
  • A contextual cell is created, which includes a super-master.
  • At least one sub-master is defined, derived from parameterized values and the context of an instance of the super-master.

Potential Applications of this Technology:

  • This method can be used in the semiconductor industry for designing integrated circuits.
  • It can be applied in the development of electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and IoT devices.

Problems Solved by this Technology:

  • This method helps in efficiently designing integrated circuits by using contextual cells and sub-masters.
  • It allows for the customization and parameterization of sub-masters, improving design flexibility.

Benefits of this Technology:

  • The method enables the generation of integrated circuit designs with greater efficiency and flexibility.
  • It allows for the reuse of contextual cells and sub-masters, saving time and resources in the design process.
  • The parameterization of sub-masters allows for easy customization and adaptation to different design requirements.
