Abstract:

A method for obtaining a layout design for an existing integrated circuit, in which, an integrated circuit die is polished with a tilt angle to form an inclined polished surface and one or more images of the inclined polished surface are obtained. The images may be overlapped directly, or the image or the images may be utilized to provide information to obtain a layout design comprising at least one repeating unit structure of the layout structure.

Abstract(Chinese):

一种用于获得现有集成电路的布局设计的方法，其中集成电路管芯以倾斜角抛光以形成倾斜的抛光表面，并且获得倾斜抛光表面的一个或多个图像。图像可以直接重叠，或者图像或图像可以用于提供信息以获得包括布局结构的至少一个重复单元结构的布局设计。
