ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to automated technology dependent transformations for Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) in the digital design synthesis, the transformations include the steps of receiving input design specification in the form of technology independent specification or interconnected library of standard-cells; performing the technology dependent transformations in the digital design synthesis, resulting in interconnected SOI standard-cells from a SOI target library accounting for floating body effects, including floating body effects affecting delays over long periods of simulation time or testing over long times on fabricated SOI library cells, or SOI transistor level representations, transistor sizing and evaluating the standard-cell mapping and transistor-level representation for all or portion of the input design specification iteratively to meet delay and power constraints for SOI.
