There are have been numerous papers written on the techniques that can be employed during integrated circuit (IC) design to achieve better overall manufacturability and yield. These ...

Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.

Timing, area, power, and signal integrity have traditionally been the primary objectives of design technology. Increasingly manufacturability and yield have also become critical design objectives, ...

Market requirements are driving custom and analog/ mixed-signal (AMS) IC providers to develop ICs with ever-increasing complexity and performance. Current custom ICs are outgrowing the capabilities of ...

As the industry continues to press forward with 65-nm design starts and early production volumes, most of the buzz surrounding DFM has focused on the critical chip layers that form the transistor ...

Using SPI interface to free FPGA routing resources is allowing over 90% utilization, fast timing closure and supports modular design approach without consequences. When doing designs with FPGA you are ...

In today’s world of highly sophisticated Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, you can complete many complex tasks using just a few commands and the switches associated with them. However, certain ...

This study investigates the effect of several design and administration choices on item exposure and person/item parameter recovery under a multistage test (MST) design. In a simulation study, we ...
