The Growing Uncertainty Of Sign-Off At 7/5nm

By Ann Mutschler - 09 May, 2019 - Comments: 3

Having enough confidence in designs to sign off prior to manufacturing is becoming far more difficult at 7/5nm. It is taking longer due to increasing transistor density, thinner gate oxides, and many more power-related operations that can disrupt signal integrity and impact reliability. For many years, designers have performed design rule checks as part of physical verification of the desi... » read more
