摘要

In this paper we present an algorithm to generate the layout of a pair of devices \(A\) A and \(B\) B for a given matching ratio \(r\) r and total unit cell count \(N\) N that minimizes the mismatch due to systematic gradient effects. The algorithm relies on simple reflections and rotations of an initial optimized pattern across 4 quadrants. The approach cancels all odd-order systematic gradients and minimizes 2nd order systematic gradients. The method can easily be extended to cancel higher-order even gradient effects. The validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated via numerical simulations. Additionally, an electrothermal simulation of a set of layouts is run to further validate the proposed layout generation scheme.
