Designing for yield is an afterthought in today's design flows, whether it is digital, analog/RF or mixed-signal. The lack of design for yield tools has forced the digital world to accept overly ...

Decision making is a critical step in semiconductor technology development. R&D semiconductor engineers must consider different design and process options early in the development of a next-generation ...

As the need to scale transistors to ever-smaller sizes continues to press on technology designers, the impact of parasitic resistance and capacitance can approach or even outpace other aspects of ...

San Mateo, Calif. – Process integration engineers are gradually losing their battle to keep process variations hidden behind the defensive barrier of tight design rules. Variations in metal line ...

Creating process variations should always be approached with care in order to reduce unnecessary complexities and inefficiencies. These seven steps should help. “90 percent of the organizations I know ...

This subcommittee will utilize symbols and identification per ANSI/ISA-5.1-2009, Instrumentation Symbols and Identification, in combination with other ISA standards, commonly used equipment symbols, ...
