Benchmark Circuits Improve the Quality of a Standard Cell Library

-- The experience of designing and employing two benchmark circuits to improve the quality of a standard cell library is reported. It isfound that most of the errors can be uncovered by making use of these two benchmark circuits to port the underlying cell library to the target environment. Two releases of a 0.2Sum standard cell library have been tested by these two benchmark circuits to ensure their quality.
