There are already a huge number of problems for silicon designers and it is likely to just get worse. Many of these problems are technical associated with shrinking geometries and...
Future high performance microprocessor design with technology scaling beyond 90nm will pose two major challenges: (1) energy and power, and (2) parameter variations. Design practi...
Methodology, EDA Flow, scripts, and documentation plays a tremendous role in the deployment and standardization of advanced design techniques. In this paper we focus not only on l...

Parameter variation in scaled technologies beyond 90nm will pose a major challenge for design of future high performance microprocessors. In this paper, we discuss process, voltag...
Yield and variability are becoming detractors for successful design in sub-90-nm process technologies. We consider the fundamental lithography and process issues that are driving ...
