Timing-driven cell layout de-compaction for yield optimization by critical area minimization
This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...

Layout Compaction for Yield Optimization via Critical Area Minimization
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...
