Abstract:
Respective large block synthesis (LBS) blocks of an integrated circuit (IC) are overlapped along a corner of each respective LBS block to form an overlap area having an area less than respective areas of respective LBS blocks that are overlapped. A first portion of the overlap area is allocated to a first LBS block and configured to be used by the first LBS block, and a second portion of the overlap area is allocated to a second LBS block and configured to be used by the second LBS block.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving an integrated circuit (IC) floorplan comprising a plurality of large block synthesis (LBS) blocks, wherein respective LBS blocks comprise respective pluralities of macros merged therein; selecting at least a first LBS block and at least a second LBS block of the plurality of LBS blocks, wherein the first LBS block shares at least a portion of a perimeter of the first LBS block with at least a portion of a perimeter of the second LBS block, wherein the first LBS block comprises a first area, and wherein the second LBS block comprises a second area; overlapping a portion of the first LBS block with a portion of the second LBS block to form an overlap area, wherein the overlap area is less than the first area, wherein the overlap area is less than the second area; apportioning a first portion of the overlap area to the first LBS block and a second portion of the overlap area to the second LBS block, wherein apportioning a respective portion to a respective LBS block dedicates resources of the respective portion to the respective LBS block; and manufacturing an integrated circuit based on the IC floorplan and comprising the first portion of the overlap area apportioned to the first LBS block and the second portion of the overlap area apportioned to the second LBS block.
