VLSI Design for Manufacturing: Yield Enhancement
Director, Stephen W. / Strojwas, Andrzej J. / Maly, Wojciech
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 referre...
