Design for manufacturability with regular fabrics in digital integrated circuits
Integrated circuit design is limited by manufacturability. As devices scale down, sensitivity to process variation increases dramatically, making design for manufacturability a critical concern. Designers must identify the designs that generate the least systematic process variation, e.g., from …
