Summary :

We propose a transistor sizing method that downsizes MOSFETs inside a cell to eliminate redundancy of cell-based circuits as much as possible. Our method reduces power dissipation of detail-routed circuits while preserving interconnects. The effectiveness of our method is experimentally evaluated using 3 circuits. The power dissipation is reduced by 75% maximum and 60% on average without delay increase. Compared with discrete cell sizing, the proposed method reduces power dissipation furthermore by 30% on average.
