Patent ID: 7093205

Claim:
A method, comprising: executing a first continuous software process that includes: automatically generating a first physical behavior curve from a first process description, said first process description describing a first process; automatically generating a first device model for said first process from said first physical behavior curve, said first device model represented in geometric form; automatically generating, with said first device model and with a first geometric optimization sequence, a first circuit design for said first process; determining if said first circuit design meets one or more functional characteristics: executing a second continuous software process that includes: automatically generating a second physical behavior curve from a second process description, said second process description describing a second process; automatically generating a second device model from said second physical behavior curve, said second device model for said second process, said second device model represented in geometric form; automatically generating, with said second device model and with a second geometric optimization sequence, a second circuit design, said second circuit design for said second process; and determining if said second circuit design meets one or more functional characteristics.
