Abstract
An improved 20/22 nm standard cell library, as depicted in FIGS. 1-491, achieves surprisingly significant improvements in manufacturing yield, as compared to a commercially-used library for the same fabrication process. The invention relates to product ICs made using this library (or topologically equivalent variants thereof), as well as processes for making such product ICs using said library (or its variants).
