ABSTRACT:
A physical device layout tool and method. The method and tool receive a user provided schematic with circuit data and placement parameters, including defaults. Further inputs include a definition of cell physical position in the horizontal direction, a definition of the cell's vertical stacking level, a definition of the cell orientation, a specification of vertical alignment of multiple cell instances, and a definition of vertical spacing between 2 adjacent cell instances. These input parameters are used to generate a layout with the placed circuit elements.
