Abstract :
We present a methodology that incorporates Epoch and Eggo CAD tools into the IC design flow for area-pad implementation. This method includes creation of an area-pad package description, inclusion of a cell library, building an HDL description netlist of the design that includes area-pads, and execution of the place and route tools.
