The sustained push toward smaller and smaller technology sizes has reached a point where device reliability has moved to the forefront of concerns for next-generation designs. Sil...
The industry requires innovative technologies to support the numeric design and simulation of manufactured products in order to reduce time to market delays and improve the perfor...
This paper presents a new algorithm for enhancing the efficiency of simulation-based optimisation using local search and neural network metamodels. The local search strategy is ba...
As the semiconductor industry moves into the next millennium, companies increasingly will be faced with production obstacles that impede their ability to remain competitive. Effec...
Monte Carlo techniques have long been used (since Buffon's experiment to approximate the value of by tossing a needle onto striped paper) to analyze phenomena which, due to ...
