Abstract
A method in certain embodiments includes using a computer system that includes an EDA tool to generate a layout of an IC device; searching, using a statistical method such as Bayesian optimization process, for one or more input variable parameters, such as the dimensions of the IC device and the dimensions of the voltage areas in the IC device, that results in an optimal characteristic, such as power, performance or area (PPA) of the IC device, subject to a limiting condition, such as one determined using a cost function. A computer system including one or more EDAs configured to perform the method is also disclosed.
