Pressing the `` Delete1 '' button allows the management server ^ 0 (see Figure 1) to receive instructions from the web server 1 30 to remove obsolete documents from the folder and invalidate / remove this red light indicator 2 4 0. In Figure 5D, a file has a yellow light indicator 26o to indicate a version conflict. Usually when a file (such as a parent file) is changed or modified to create a new version of the file, the related file (such as a child file) must also be modified accordingly. An example of a version conflict is when a parent file and its corresponding file are modified, and the user only updates the parent file with the new version and not the child file. In this example, the version of the child file = parent = the version of the file in the folder does not match, so a version conflict occurs. In this example, the embodiment can display a yellow light indicator 2 6 0 and provide a reference to the new version of the sub-text, as shown in Figure 5D of the mouth. In addition, optionally (such as yellow light indicator 260) can be placed after the parent file, and the child files of the file have a version that needs to be resolved. The provision can provide the above-mentioned notification in real time, so that when a specific tool is still being viewed and managed, the user can know that the two versions conflict. Because many files are related to other files, because the related files are being updated by the manufacturer, it may happen that = full synchronization occurs. In this example, yellow light! You can warn that the designer's file is being updated. If you have n’t finished yet, you can evaluate the impact of your design work. And so the maintenance of the custom folder is ok. In the embodiment, the users of Fenhan Tian Tu Youzi can only receive the notification email through the website.

For a design team with multiple members, the key designer ^ manages custom folders and other sharing users can view the status of the same folder without modification rights. In an embodiment, the web server 130 allows an authorized user to download a fact table and / or a file package of one of the folders. Figures 6A to 6C show the user interface of Yunjing authorized users to download the fact table.

The user interface in Figure 6A shows a list of custom folders created previously. The authorized user can select a radio button for a specific folder and press the 'Technology Fact Sheet' button to get the fact sheet information of the file. The technical information of the selected folder, such as geometry, product type, and product characteristics, is then displayed in a pop-up window, as shown in Figure 6B. The user interface in Fig. 6B allows the user to print or ^ by pressing "Download Fact Sheet" and csv said that Figs. 7A and 7B show that authorized users are allowed to download customized documents / _ User interface.

200426626 V. Description of the invention (15) Figure. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a method for providing customized folder management according to an embodiment of the present invention. A website is provided to include a browseable catalog of files classified by technology. The website allows users to start creating custom folders by choosing a technology category (see box 8 2 in Figure 8). Among the types of technology, relevant documents regarding this type of technology are listed. For example, these documents can be technical documents about IC design and provided by the manufacturer. All technical files can be based on manufacturing geometry (such as 0.35 micron, 0.25 micron, 0.18 micron, 0.13 micron, etc.) and product characteristics (such as logic, MS / RF, ITRAM, EmbFlash, etc.) Pre-classified. A list of files related to this selected technology category is displayed on the website, and the website allows users to select files as their custom folders (see box 804 in Figure 8). The status of the files in the customized folder is monitored by the system 100 (such as the factory being manufactured) (see box 806 in Figure 8). In the embodiment, the notification engine (shown in Fig. 1) monitors the status of the selected file in the file database 110. If the status of any document in the folder changes, a notification is sent to the user associated with the folder or the user designated to receive notifications (see box 8 0 8 in Figure 8). When the user logs in to the website to view the changes, the indicators on the website will appear (see sections 2E, 3A, 4A, 4D, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 6A, 14A, and 14B). When the user uses the system 100 through the website, the indicator notifies the user that the file is changed. As described above, in the embodiment, for example, a blue indicator 2 2 0 can be used to indicate that a new version has been provided by the manufacturer, a yellow indicator 2 6 0 can be used to indicate the occurrence of a version conflict, and a red Indicator 2 4 〇 OK

200426626 V. Description of Invention (16) Used to indicate that the document has been discarded by the manufacturer. Therefore, the website allows the user to update the version and / or delete obsolete files according to the notification of the corresponding indicator. Authorized users and / or other users can put more details on the status change of the document through the note. Therefore, the above-mentioned system and method flow provides IC designers to easily manage and monitor the manufacturer's technical files related to their own designs by creating customized folders. The customized folder management service provided by the embodiment can save the design company time and labor in managing technical files and intellectual property library. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the development of a customized folder / βQJ) according to the embodiment. Figure 9 shows three types of BOD: prototype BOD, standard BOD and custom BOD. The prototype BOD can be used by the manufacturer during the development phase of preparing the standard bod. The template B0D defines the file relationship of the file type hierarchy. Different prototype BODs can be developed for different technologies. Figure 丨 〇 shows the template B0D of Figure 9. Referring to FIG. 10, a template B0D has three types of relationship relationships between each file. An example of each relationship type is shown in 1) of the template in Fig.10. A mixable relationship 10 0 is a relationship in which at least one element can be selected. Although in some examples, 'due to market availability or some other reason' certain components cannot be present in a BOD at the same time. A mutually exclusive relationship 1 0 2 0 is a relationship in which once a parent component is selected, only one component can be selected for the parent component. A fixed link (Hard Link) relationship 130 is a one-in-one relationship, in which, once the parent component is selected, all components fixed to the component are automatically selected. After the template BOD is established, the standard BOD can be established on the template BOD

A standard _ usually based on customer input and demand (Such as technical requirements) to provide the customer's maximum size and certification f file list to select at the file number, header, and version level. The more customer input received during the evaluation of customer needs, the more accurate = file list, corresponding The obtained documents and customer requirements. ^ Figure 11A shows the standard B0D of Figure 9, where the standard B0D is derived from the template B0D of Figure 10 (see Figure 9). Note that for the ΠΑ In the standard BOD of the figure, only two components (L0gic and Emb dram) are used by the four components (L0gic, Mixed Signal, FUsh, and Emb DRAM) in the second layer of the prototype BOD (see Figure 9). In the second layer of the standard 601) in Figure 11A ', there are two intellectual property libraries: 99AV04 and 00BV01. Fig. 11B shows the architecture of the standard B0D in Fig. 1A in the format of the checkpoint (Out 1 ine). Referring to Figures 11A and 11B, the three displayed technical files are linked to (related to) IP — Lib: 99AV04: DRC, LVS, and RCX. This relationship is also shown in the bulleted list in Figure 11B. In layer 5 of the standard BOD, the three displayed technical files are linked to (relevant to) the three technical files in each layer 4: DRM, SPICE and SPICE. Note that in this example, SPICE is related to LVS and RCX files. Summarizing the relationship of the standard BOD example in Figure 11A, each Log i c has a mixable relationship with the Emb DRAM device in the 0.8 micron technology category. Intellectual property database files, IP-Lib: 99AV04 and IP-Lib: 00BV01, each of which has a mutually exclusive relationship with Logical components. Layer 4 technical files (DRC, LVS, and RCX), each related to ip_Lib: 99AV04C In this example, it is a mixable relationship, but in other examples it may be a mixable box or a mutual

200426626 V. Description of Invention (18) The technical documents of layer 5 (DRM and SPICE) have a fixed link to the individual technical documents of layer 4 (DRC, LVS and RCX). In other words, DRC is the parent file of the relevant DRM, so that if DRC is selected, DRM will be automatically selected due to their relationship. Therefore, in this example, DRM is a child file of the parent file DRC. In some examples, the parent-child relationship can be reversed between levels, because fixed links can go back and forth (as the need for an appropriate relationship). The standard BOD examples in Figures 11A and 11B are only examples of the &f; f. The type and location (mixable, mutually exclusive, and fixed link) between the layer relationships, the number of components and files, and the number of layers are different. There can be many variations in the embodiment. If the user wants to view the standard BOD of Figure 11A (as described above, the user-friendly interface of a website) and select the _wares and documents needed when creating a special restraint b0d, it can be like the first 12A and 12β are shown. Figure 12A shows the customized BOD of Figure 9. In the customized bod in Figure 12-8, the user must select a specific file, which is shown as " X " mark in Figure j2B to indicate that the user is working in the user interface I; Therefore, according to the standard of the UA diagram_, make the customized B0D of = to meet the user's planning needs. When the customer tries to make the turtle's website ^ Standard B0D is available to users): When the system is customized BjD (which is related to geometry (such as 0 · 13 micron logic); according to each household's application

Save. After storing the customized_, the customer can then store the files in it. Each household can access and / or modify B0D

200426626 V. Description of Invention (19) Figure 13 shows the user interface used by the system administrator in the manufacturing plant (customers / users may not see it) to create and / or modify standard BOD or legislative documents. To the database. In Figure 13 an existing file (file number T-0 2 5-MM-CL-0 0 5) is modified. If desired or needed, the administrator can store it as a new file number (eg, save as) to generate a new file based on the two saved files. In addition, if desired or needed, the active manager can add Remarks to summarize the changes made. At the Document Stage Selector (see Figure 13), the administrator can specify whether the document is normal (Normal), new version (〇 · χ version), or pre-release (Pre — Re lease). On the website in Figure 13, the administrator can choose which files are relevant and which applications are relevant. As shown in Figure 13 there are a variety of applications. As indicated at the bottom of the webpage in Figure 13, there are multiple, Unique. "ID (Unique Technology Identification Code)" title. In the embodiment, these "Unique kch ID" (hereinafter referred to as the technology identification code) is used to establish the relationship between files. If two files share the same technology identification code , They are related. When the technology identification code is used by the system and used by the manufacturer's manager to organize, create, and manage BOD and files, customers / users will not get to the technology identification code. The text and numbers in each technology identification code have their associated meaning. For example, the technology identification code CL013HP-1 · 2/3 · 3-ACUn is displayed. In this example, the} column (or the i characters) is ^ ", which means CMOs / BiCM0s (c-CM0s) application. The second column is the type of operation, and here is "L", which means logic (L0gic). The third to fifth columns are several

Ho, and "0.13" here means 0.13 microns. Up to this point " QP " means high-speed applications. The eighth bar is the center voltage 丄 and = the voltage 2 ^ table ... and here is "2/3. The earlier table of the J volt meter is not separated to make the technical identification code more readable. The columns 9 to " are Metal (Beol Metal), Jing, ex-g_ ”copper (AU Copper). This is just a technical identification

For example, as shown in Fig. 13, there may be other cases. — = Code = The table can provide the meaning of any technical identification code. For this purpose, each file I is encoded with any one of its own technical identification codes, and any technical identification code can occur in any file encoding. With this technical identification code, the system 100 can use the technical identification code to quickly and automatically collect related documents. Figures 14A and 14B show a typical user interface provided to the customer when the customer views the list of BOD files. The list of files begins in Figure 14A and continues in Figure 14B. In the example shown in Figures ha and 14B 'each of the red, blue and yellow indicators (as described earlier) is used to provide notification to the user. Note that in Figure 4a, when a new version is available, a link to this new version is provided in the user interface, so that the user does not need to find him and the user can download him immediately to update B0D. In addition, it must also be noted that in Figure 4B, when a version conflict notification is provided, a link to the file that needs to resolve the version conflict is provided (again saving users a lot of time and power). Therefore, using the embodiment of the present invention can save a user or a design team a lot of time to create and maintain a folder provided by the manufacturer. In addition, by using this
