In
the IC Design tutorial section we will go through the steps of building a starndard
cell from a transistor level, creating the logic symbol and finally testing
it using HSPICE (or any other simulation tool). The standard cell is first create
on the transistor level in the Schematic View.
Once the standard cell as been created we also want to make a corresponding
symbol for the type of logic the standard cell performs, this is done in the
Symbol View. Once these two things have been
done we want to simulate the standard
cell by using HSPICE, making sure the the logic is correct and the rise and
falls times are acceptable.
