Manufacturable design requires matching of interconnects which have equal nominal dimensions. New design rules are projected to bring guarantee rules for interconnect matching. In...
Crosstalk effects degrade the integrity of signals traveling on long interconnects and must be addressed during manufacturing testing. External testing for crosstalk is expensive ...
Domino circuits have been used in most modern high-performance microprocessor designs because of their high speed, low transistor-count and hazard-free operation. However, with te...
Escaped errors in released silicon are growing in number due to the increasing complexity of modern processor designs and shrinking production schedules. Worsening the problem are ...
