Efficient Standard Cell Layout Techniques

A Standard Cell Library quality depends on PPA (Power, Performance, Area) and a quality library consists of wide variety Cells ranging from Combinational Cells (INV, AOI…) to Sequential Cells (Flip-Flops, Power Gators) with different drive strengths (INV_2, ND2_8). Standard Cell Layout requires validation for LVS, DRC. There are other Quality issues that needed to be taken care are Power Grid, Electro-Migration issue which is very important in Lower Technology Nodes.
