Advanced process technologies are generating significant challenges for modern IC designers as the physics of the 130- and 90-nanometer generation bring what were previously noise-level effects to the ...

As technology nodes shrink to 90 nanometers and below, chips become much more difficult to manufacture. In-die process variations increase substantially at 90 nm — even more at 65 nm. If these effects ...

Silicon photonics is rapidly emerging as a promising technology to enable higher bandwidth, lower energy, and lower latency communication and information processing, and other applications. In silicon ...

SE: Especially with advanced nodes, there are many types of variation in the process and today’s design and verification tools have to understand this. How does variation impact the sphere of your ...
