(1) The FILLER unit mainly connects the diffusion layers to meet DRC rules and physical design requirements, and forms a track for power lines an
wires.
(2) Some signal ports in the digital circuit of the voltage clamping unit, or ports of idle signals, need to be clamped at a fixed logic level. It can also p
isolating ordinary signals and special signals.
(3) In order to prevent the antenna effect of the chip from causing gate oxygen breakdown of the device during the processing of the diode unit, it is
necessary to add reverse-biased diodes to the gate input end that violates the antenna rules after the wiring is completed. These diodes can accum
layers during processing. The charge is released to the ground to avoid device failure. Diodes are additional units that have nothing to do with logic
(4) Decoupling unit When a large number of units in the circuit flip over at the same time, the instantaneous charging and discharging current will inc
causing the circuit's dynamic power supply voltage to decrease or the ground voltage to increase. Usually, a capacitor composed of a MOS tube is
between the power line and the ground line. Its function is to supplement the current to the circuit when the transient current increases and the volta
ensure the voltage stability between the power supply and the ground line, preventing the power line from voltage drop and increase in ground volta
(5) A key issue in the design of the clock buffer unit sequential circuit is the design of the clock tree. The clock signal in the chip needs to be transmi

(6) The delay buffer unit functions similarly to the clock buffer unit. It is designed to adjust the delays of some paths in the circuit to meet the require
sequential circuit. For example, in synchronous circuits, the method of adding a delay buffer unit is usually used to ensure that the reset signal reac

(7) The well connection unit is a purely physical unit without any logical functions and timing constraints. It is mainly used to limit the resistance betw
power supply or ground and the substrate to reduce the latch-up effect.
(8) Voltage conversion unit The voltage conversion unit is used to convert signal voltages between different voltage threshold modules of the chip in
consumption, multi-supply and multi-voltage designs. Including three types of voltage conversion from low to high, high to low and bidirectional volta

(9) The isolation unit is specially used for low power consumption design and is combined with the level conversion unit to form a unit with dual func
