Abstract

See full text

A method and system for migrating an existing ASIC design from one semiconductor fabrication process to another are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method for migrating the existing ASIC design comprises parsing the gate-level netlist one row at a time into one or more standard cells forming the ASIC design, forming a plurality of mapping tables having mapping rules for mapping the parsed one or more standard cells into equivalent target standard cells implemented in the second semiconductor fabrication process, mapping the parsed one or more standard cells into the equivalent target standard cells using the plurality of mapping tables, and generating a target gate-level netlist describing the ASIC design in terms of the equivalent target standard cells.
