DFM/DFY practices during physical designs for timing, signal integrity, and power
Shihao Chen, Ke-Cheng Chu, Jiing-Yuan Lin, Cheng-Hong Tsai · 2007
We present our experience of DFM (design for manufacturability) and DFY (design for yield) considerations on physical designs at 0.13 mum and below technology nodes. The impact of some DFM approaches on timing and signal integrity are addressed. We also present our experience of yield analysis and improvement for the designs with process variation and dynamic IR drop issues.
