Characterizing a cell library using iCCS (ASIC design)

Maintaining accuracy during the rapid generation of a standard cell library is a problem in ASIC development. Errors can occur in all phases of library generation: design, characterization, modeling, and documentation. The integrated cell characterization system (iCCS), developed to automate the production of a standard cell library, is discussed. ICCS generates accurate models and documentation by simulating over a wider range of environmental conditions and removing human error.<
