Abstract:
There have been many issues in synthesizing analog cell and circuit layouts. In this talk, I will brief some of our current efforts in this direction: to close the gap between pre-simulation and post-simulation results in nanometer analog layouts, analog placement considering current flow and symmetry constraints, and P&R of customized peripheral circuits in IoT SRAM system. With this talk, I hope to shed some light on these still-not-well-solved problems, and discuss the future application on beyond-10nm cell library layout synthesis.
