Abstract
A BiCMOS integrated circuit design having an oversized isolation area surrounding circuit elements which are non-scaleable is provided. The non-scaleable circuit elements can be removed from the layout, and the remaining scaleable elements shrunk by a CAD system. After shrinking the scaleable elements and the isolation area, the non-scaleable elements are returned to the layout at their original size, and located within the scaled-down isolation area.
