     As shown in Figure 1, flex-cell based optimization process can invoke a uniquification process to minimize the number of functionally unique flexcells created during optimization of a given design. In the context of flexcell synthesis, uniquification focuses on identifying the minimum number of unique flex-cells required for optimization, and it is different from the “uniquify” command found in synthesis tools.
