Patent ID: 10002800

Abstract:
Methods and systems method for checking a semiconductor device for compliance with a rule include determining one or more device type categories to which a fully depleted semiconductor on insulator (FDSOI) device in a chip layout belongs based on which, if any, of a gate, a source/drain region, and a well of the FDSOI device are connected to each other or to a substrate. It is determined whether the FDSOI device complies with a first design rule that considers antenna area connected to the gate and the source/drain region of the FDSOI device. It is determined whether the FDSOI device complies with a second design rule that considers antenna area connected to the well and the source/drain region of the FDSOI device. The chip layout is modified, if the FDSOI devices fails to comply with the first and second design rules, to bring the non-compliant FDSOI device into compliance.
