Abstract
A 1.0 ¿m CMOS technology with 3 layers of metal is used to implement a high density Master Image that contains LOGIC and RAMs. The Image allows the usage of even more than 1,000,000 transistors. A hierarchical design methodology is described. This chip offers variable sized physical partitions and RAM macros. No fixed area sizes and locations for partitions and macros are necessary. Chip density and performance of oustomized chips are approached by the described methodology at significantly lower development cost and development time.
