Whereas the CPUs and similar ASICs of the 1970s had their transistors laid out manually, with the move from LSI to VLSI, it became necessary to optimize the process of laying out the transistors and ...

Mixed-cell-height standard cell design and subsequent legalization represent critical steps in modern integrated circuit development. The technique involves the utilisation of standard cells with ...

Manual and automated IC-layout tools are integrated in the PEYE Yield Finder analysis software. The combined yield-driven, standard-cell, design optimization flow facilitates the application of design ...

A new technical paper titled “Novel Transformer Model Based Clustering Method for Standard Cell Design Automation” was published by researchers at Nvidia. “Standard cells are essential components of ...

Detection and monitoring of the yield loss mechanisms and defects in product chips have been a subject of extensive efforts, resulting in multiple useful Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) and ...
