ITRS Design
Design • Design for manufacturability • Design verification
Design for Manufacturability • Architecture challenges • Logic and circuit challenges • Layout and physical design challenges • Yield prediction and optimization
Variability Modeling and Roadmap – Need for Such a Roadmap • Expected to be the source of multiple DFM challenges • Invest in variability reduction or design productivity improvements?
Variability Modeling and Roadmap – Levels of Abstraction • Circuit/Chip level • Device level • Physical level
Design Verification • Verification vs testing • Moore’s law • Historical emphasis in design improvement
Design Verification – Challenges (>50nm) • Capacity • Robustness • Verification metrics • Software • Reuse • Specialized verification methodology • Specialized design-for-verifiability • New kinds of concurrency
Design Verification – Challenges (<50nm) • Design for verifiability • Higher levels of abstraction • Specification for verifiability • Verification in presence of non-digital effects • Heterogeneous systems • Analog-Mixed signal • Soft failures • Verification for redundancy
