Abstract
A method for providing an integrated circuit design is disclosed. The method includes receiving and synthesizing a behavioral description of an integrated circuit design. The method includes generating, based on the synthesized behavioral description, a layout by placing and routing a plurality of transistor-based cells. The method includes selectively accessing a cell library that includes a plurality of non-transistor-based cells, each of the plurality of non-transistor-based cells associated with a respective delay value. The method includes updating the layout by inserting one or more of the plurality of non-transistor-based cells.
