| Physical implementation is the back-end process in whole IC (Integrated Circuit) design. It implements circuit design theory to physical performance, like a bridge between IC design theory and IC manufacturing.This paper takes the video processing chip HTV190 as an example to discuss the process of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) physical implementation under Deep-submicron technology by Synopsys EDA tool Astro. Which includes Floorplan and Place, CTS (Clock Tree Synthesis) , as well as Routing and DFM (Design For Manufacturing) methodology and technology.In the section of CTS, through discussion of timing, step by step analyze the relationship and solution between timing and CTS. In the section of Floorplan and Place, it focuses on power supply network design and optimization, which is the key point for chip working stably. As for the section of Routing and DFM, it mainly explores Routing technology as well as what problems DFM faces under deep-submicron process and how to settle the problems.What this paper studies and explores is about methodology and technology of digital circuit design Physical Implementation, explaining with effective examples. And also the Astro specific flow of auto Place and Routing is attached in the appendix. All the method and technology were proved to be feasible by production. So they are useful as reference for other similar digital circuits' Physical Implementation. |
