Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have proposed an algorithm to optimize the gate width of transistors by incorporating an accurate estimation model for the capacitance of diffusion regions in synthesized layout. Though prior works did not estimate the drain capacitance of transistors in synthesized layout, we have proposed a new approach to get an optimal set of transistor sizes by taking advantage of an accurate layout model that considers diffusion sharing and transistor folding. We formulate the layout model with a linear equation, then optimize the transistor sizes with a dynamic programming method. We have improved the sizing results by at most 10% in the critical path delay.
