The design and implementation process for integrated circuits (ICs) has been honed and perfected for decades by the design and the electronic design automation (EDA) community. However, the ...

Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

Advanced short-geometry CMOS processes are subject to aging that causes major reliability issues, degrading the performance of integrated circuits over time. Two of the most problematic effects ...

Demand for lower defect rates and higher yields is increasing, in part because chips are now being used for safety- and mission-critical applications, and in part because it’s a way of offsetting ...
