Abstract
A standardized silicon platform chip has a substrate surface with an array of unconnected transistors that surround islands. The islands have circuit elements that are interconnectable within each island to form a plurality of varied circuit functions for each of the islands. The varied circuit functions include both application functions and clock functions. Interconnect layers are deposited over the substrate surface to interconnect the circuit elements within each island to complete the varied circuit functions. The varied circuit functions include varied levels of integration including at least gates, flip-flops, clock trees, and oscillators. The varied circuit functions are custom connectable to the array of unconnected transistors to form standard clock resources for the standardized silicon platform chip.
