This paper presents a new compaction algorithm to improve the yield of IC layout. The yield is improved by reducing the area where the faults are more likely to happen known as cr...
This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...
This paper presents a unique approach to improve yield given a routed layout. Currently after routing has been completed and compacted, it generally proceeds to verification witho...
— Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the key steps during nanometer VLSI manufacturing process where minimum variation of layout pattern densities is desired. This pap...
Nanometer CMOS scaling has resulted in greatly increased circuit variability, with extremely adverse consequences on design predictability and yield. A number of recent works have...
