Abstract

A standard cell design system is provided. The standard cell design system includes at least one processor configured to implement: a control engine that determines planar parameters and vertical parameters of a target standard cell, a three-dimensional structure generating engine that generates a three-dimensional structure of the target standard cell based on the planar parameters and the vertical parameters, an extraction engine that extracts a standard cell model of the target standard cell from the three-dimensional structure, an assessment engine that performs a plurality of assessment operations based on the standard cell model, and an auto-optimizing engine that adjusts, based on a machine learning algorithm, the planar parameters and the vertical parameters based on results of the plurality of assessment operations.
