In this paper we discuss the efficiency and accuracy of extracting potential bridging fault sites from a physical layout specification. Using a combination of developed tools and common layout and extraction tools, a fault file is generated with an ordered list of the most likely to occur bridging faults based on parasitic capacitance values. These faultsare then simulated and results are discussed...
This paper presents a novel automated post-layout flow validation tool to intensively test the MOSFETs and passive components in 32nm, 28nm and 22nm Process Design Kits (PDK). Benchmark circuits, such as, ring oscillator, logic circuits and passive delay circuits, are automatically generated, LVS (layout versus schematic) checked, extracted and simulated in multiple Model/LVS/Parasitic extraction(PEX)...
In this paper we present a continuous surface model to describe the interconnect geometric variation, which improves the currently used model for better accuracy while not increasing the number of variables. Based on it, efficient techniques are presented for chip-level capacitance extraction considering the window technique. The sparse-grid-based Hermite polynomial chaos combined with a novel weighted...
Accurate simulation of digital circuits is an essential part of the design process. High precision models are generally used to confirm logic behavior and estimate power dissipation, which has become an extremely important design parameter. Unfortunately high precision analysis is expensive in computer execution time, and there is always a trade-off between accuracy and speed. This work proposes a...
Timing driven physical design, synthesis, and optimization tools need efficient closed-form delay models for estimating the delay associated with each net in an integrated circuit (IC) design. The total number of nets in a modern IC design has increased dramatically and exceeded millions. Therefore efficient modeling of interconnection is needed for high speed ICpsilas. This paper presents an closed-form...
