Description
Summary:Device layout is very important for one Integrated Circuit (IC) performance. From different metal routing, ICs can own different achievements. In this study, simple device layouts with only two poly gate fingers are discovered for obtaining the optimizing device characteristics. In order to create the uniform current distributions, lots of metal routing segmentations are preferred, but many segmented metal layouts will induce less effective metal widths. Through the simulation tool, optimizing metal routing can be achieved. Finally, one suggested metal routing method for typical IC applications can be obtained from many simulation results.
