Title: Chunlei Zhu: Fin-FET Circuit Design Patents

Introduction

Chunlei Zhu is an inventor based in Shanghai, China, and works at Synopsys, Inc. His patent work concerns computer-implemented methods for designing circuits using Fin-FET transistors. The supplied information lists 2 patents for Zhu.

Latest Patents

Both of Zhu’s latest patents describe methods for forming circuit cells with geometries aligned to a first pitch. In one method, each cell contains shapes extending along a first direction and spaced from neighboring shapes along a substantially perpendicular second direction. The cell origin’s coordinate along the second direction is assigned according to an integer multiple of that pitch.

The other method describes cells with first and second boundaries positioned along the first direction, alongside shapes that extend in that direction and are spaced according to the same pitch. The cell boundaries are positioned according to an integer multiple of the pitch when the computer forms the cells representing the circuit.

Career Highlights

At Synopsys, Zhu’s listed patent work addresses the organization of circuit cells and their geometric features. The methods specify how cell origins or boundaries relate to the pitch between neighboring shapes, providing design constraints for computer-based circuit construction.

Collaborations

Bohai Liu and Gary K. Yeap are identified as Zhu’s coworkers. The supplied information does not specify their roles in the patents or whether they collaborated with him on these inventions.

Conclusion

Chunlei Zhu’s listed inventions focus on pitch-aligned cell geometry for computer-implemented Fin-FET circuit design, reflecting his patent work at Synopsys, Inc.
