Abstract

In this paper we describe Strip Layout, a new layout methodology that is suitable for automatically laying out standard circuit modules and for automatic module generation from transistor net-list. We demonstrate that the new layout methodology yields circuits that are denser than standard cell layout while retaining all the advantages of standard cells. Moreover, Strip Layout could be generated by simple algorithms at high speed.
