Akinwande and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient design of high performance VLSI process requires accurate models for the physical processes used for fabrication. This is particularly true as device geometries shrink and fabrication technologies become inherently 2D. First order models for thermal oxidation, ion implantation, diffusion, chemical vapor deposition and other processes cannot accurately predict device structures from modern IC technologies. The fundamental objective of this program is to develop accurate and physically correct models for these processes which are general enough to incorporate in a general purpose, user-oriented computer simulation tool - SUPREM. This program accepts process schedules as inputs and provides predicted device structures as outputs. It is meant to be capable of accurately simulating both bipolar and MOS VLSI structures. SUPREM is specifically designed to couple with device simulation tools so that it forms the cornerstone of a hierarchy of VLSI process, device, circuit and system design aids. (Author).

Download or read book VLSI Design for Manufacturing Yield Enhancement written by Stephen W. Director and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the keys to success in the IC industry is getting a new product to market in a timely fashion and being able to produce that product with sufficient yield to be profitable. There are two ways to increase yield: by improving the control of the manufacturing process and by designing the process and the circuits in such a way as to minimize the effect of the inherent variations of the process on performance. The latter is typically referred to as "design for manufacture" or "statistical design". As device sizes continue to shrink, the effects of the inherent fluctuations in the IC fabrication process will have an even more obvious effect on circuit performance. And design for manufacture will increase in importance. We have been working in the area of statistically based computer aided design for more than 13 years. During the last decade we have been working with each other, and individually with our students, to develop methods and CAD tools that can be used to improve yield during the design and manufacturing phases of IC realization. This effort has resulted in a large number of publications that have appeared in a variety of journals and conference proceedings. Thus our motivation in writing this book is to put, in one place, a description of our approach to IC yield enhancement. While the work that is contained in this book has appeared in the open literature, we have attempted to use a consistent notation throughout this book.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As MOS devices are scaled to meet increasingly demanding circuit specifications, process variations have a greater effect on the reliability of circuit performance. For this reason, statistical techniques are required to design integrated circuits with maximum yield. Statistical Modeling for Computer-Aided Design of MOS VLSI Circuits describes a statistical circuit simulation and optimization environment for VLSI circuit designers. The first step toward accomplishing statistical circuit design and optimization is the development of an accurate CAD tool capable of performing statistical simulation. This tool must be based on a statistical model which comprehends the effect of device and circuit characteristics, such as device size, bias, and circuit layout, which are under the control of the circuit designer on the variability of circuit performance. The distinctive feature of the CAD tool described in this book is its ability to accurately model and simulate the effect in both intra- and inter-die process variability on analog/digital circuits, accounting for the effects of the aforementioned device and circuit characteristics. Statistical Modeling for Computer-Aided Design of MOS VLSI Circuits serves as an excellent reference for those working in the field, and may be used as the text for an advanced course on the subject.
