The steps of a complex process can be displayed in sequence using a graphic referred to as a process flowchart. The graphic explains the way a process is or should be functioning, depending on the ...

As the need to scale transistors to ever-smaller sizes continues to press on technology designers, the impact of parasitic resistance and capacitance can approach or even outpace other aspects of ...

Virtual fabrication is used to evaluate the performance of interconnects (line and via resistance, capacitance, etc.) across pitches compatible with either EUV single exposure or SADP for three ...

Creating process variations should always be approached with care in order to reduce unnecessary complexities and inefficiencies. These seven steps should help. “90 percent of the organizations I know ...

For some time now it has been assumed by a lot of people that the growing process variations at advanced CMOS nodes were an inevitable result of physics, and therefore, like death, taxes and ...
