Abstract
On-chip decoupling capacitors and methods for placing the same are disclosed in which designated spaces are created between the active circuits to insert designated capacitor cells. The designated capacitor cells may be placed in designated areas of the integrated circuit that are not simply spaces left empty by cell placement or frontier areas in or around the route, and the dimensions (e.g., height) of the designated capacitor cells may be selected to optimize (increase) capacitance efficiency. The capacitor cells may also be placed to target and reduce the interference between a digital core (aggressor) circuit and a victim analog circuit.
