C.H. Wu, Lih-Chiou Lin, D. Chou, Kuang-cheng Ting · 2002
The authors introduce an automatic cell characterization environment developed for cell-based design methodology. With its structured cell description language, automatic stimuli generation algorithm and flow event manager, varieties of cells are automatically characterized. It has been applied successfully to characterize the 1.0-/spl mu/m and 0.8-/spl mu/m standard cell, sea-of-gates, and full-custom cell library.>
