METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR SAME: abstract simplified (18335505)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18335505 Titled 'METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR SAME'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. It involves generating a layout diagram that includes various layout cells. Instead of calculating the parasitic capacitance (PC) description for each individual cell, the method searches a database of predefined cells and their corresponding PC descriptions. It looks for a predefined cell that closely matches each candidate cell in the layout diagram. When a match is found, the PC description of the matching predefined cell is assigned to the candidate cell. This approach simplifies the manufacturing process by avoiding the need for discrete calculations of PC descriptions for each cell.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a corresponding layout diagram being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the layout diagram including layout cells, the method including generating the layout diagram including: for a candidate cell amongst the layout cells in the layout diagram, avoiding a discrete calculation of a corresponding parasitic capacitance (PC) description including, within a database which stores predefined cells and corresponding parasitic capacitance (PC) descriptions thereof, searching the database for one amongst the predefined cells (matching predefined cell) that is a substantial match to the candidate cell: and, when a substantial match is found, assigning the PC description of the matching predefined cell to the candidate cell.
