Variation’s Long, Twisty Tail Worsens At 7/5nm
By Ed Sperling - 20 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 1

Variation is becoming a bigger challenge at each new node, but not just for obvious reasons and not always from the usual sources. Nevertheless, dealing with these issues takes additional time and resources, and it can affect the performance and reliability of those chips throughout their lifetimes. At a high level, variation historically was viewed as a mismatch between what design teams in... » read more
