Electronic Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit , and Process Technology

The second of two volumes in the Electronic Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition, Electronic Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit , and Process Technology thoroughly examines real-time logic (RTL) to GDSII (a file format used to transfer data of semiconductor physical layout) flow, analog/mixed signal , physical verification, and technology computer-aided (TCAD). Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss for manufacturability (DFM) at the nanoscale, power supply network and analysis, modeling, and much more. New to This Edition: Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the flow, where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition-these are illustrated by new chapters on 3D circuit integration and clock Offering improved depth and modernity, Electronic Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit , and Process Technology provides a valuable, state-of-the-art reference for electronic automation (EDA) students, researchers, and professionals.
