In design support for the fabless or foundry-based semiconductor-design model, the main mechanism for circuit-design information is the PDK (process-design kit). The PDK describes the electrical, ...

Despite extraordinary progress in electronic design automation (EDA), custom IC design tools– whether for digital, analog, or radio-frequency (RF)–have not kept pace with the rest of the industry. The ...

More aggressive feature scaling and increasingly complex transistor structures are driving a steady increase in process complexity, increasing the risk that a specified pattern may not be ...

The semiconductor manufacturing process involves many steps, including, but not limited to, film deposition, photolithography, etching, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). Contamination can ...

Influential as it was, the original tool kit only focused on physical and sensory disabilities, leaving out an entire field that had to do with designing for the brain. Known as cognition, this ...
