Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.

There are have been numerous papers written on the techniques that can be employed during integrated circuit (IC) design to achieve better overall manufacturability and yield. These ...

Timing, area, power, and signal integrity have traditionally been the primary objectives of design technology. Increasingly manufacturability and yield have also become critical design objectives, ...

The latest revision of Zuken's CR-5000 PCB and packaging design suite includes a number of enhancements, most notably to symmetry in trunk routing and modeling. Revision 9.0 of the CR-5000 suite also ...

As the industry continues to press forward with 65-nm design starts and early production volumes, most of the buzz surrounding DFM has focused on the critical chip layers that form the transistor ...

This study investigates the effect of several design and administration choices on item exposure and person/item parameter recovery under a multistage test (MST) design. In a simulation study, we ...
