Abstract
A cell library is automatically designed. An emphasis of a design methodology is on automatic determination of the desired or needed cell sizes and variants. This method exploits different variants on drive strengths, P/N ratios, topology variants, internal buffering, and so forth. The method allows generating libraries that are more suitable for efficient timing closure.
