For example, hioh performance transistors for critical paths and low power transistors can be combined to create a hi~h performance chip with reduced power consumption. One approach is to separately design each transistor and duplicate the lithooraphy steps to allow for separate oate oxide, drain extender, channel, etc. Hc~vever, cost concerns require the minimum number of duplicated lithography steps. We have developed a transistor co-optimization methodology and tool, PSDesigner, that can be used to simultaneously design multiple, coupled transistors to meet disparate goals. PSDesigner facilitates the exploration of the costperformance trade-offs that result from duplicatin~ different lithography steps. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-96661-35-0-3 |
