No silicon fabrication and characterization of circuits with topologies designed by evolution has been done before, leaving open questions about the feasibility of the evolutionar...

One of the most challenging problems in post-silicon validation is to identify those errors that cause prohibitive extra delay on speedpaths in the circuit under debug (CUD) and o...
This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional log...

Today’s complex integrated circuit designs increasingly rely on post-silicon validation to eliminate bugs that escape from presilicon verification. One effective silicon debug ...
It is increasingly difficult to guarantee the first silicon success for complex integrated circuit (IC) designs. Post-silicon validation has thus become an essential step in the I...
