Abstract

See full text

A method is comprised of translating a bit stream defining the state of switches of an FPGA into a set of via geometries, or generating the set of via geometries directly from a physical design system. The via geometries are used to produce at least one via mask. The via mask is then used in a manufacturing process to customize an array of fixed and/or programmable logic blocks.
