Abstract :
We developed standard cell libraries for three technologies (0.13, 0.18 and 0.35 μm) using an automatic layout generation tool that we have developed. The developed libraries are as competitive as manually-designed libraries in layout density and speed. We verify the functionalities of all cells and the speed of basic combinational cells on fabricated chips. The libraries are currently public to educational organizations in Japan.
