WEDNESDAY, June 15, 2005, 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM | Room: 209AB
TOPIC AREA:  DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING (tools)

   SESSION 19
  Statistical Optimization and Manufacturability
  Chair: Chandramouli Kashyap - IBM Corp., Austin, TX
  Organizers: Sani Nassif, Vivek De

  The impact of variations on performance and power is becoming worse with technology scaling. The first three papers describe sizing algorithms that account for variations and perform statistical design optimizations to improve yield under power and timing constraints. The last paper describes alogortihms to avoid and fix antenna effect problems for yield improvement.
