| Statistical timing gets a foothold in leading-edge designs |
Is statistical timing analysis really helping anyone, or is it an EDA-industry marketing ploy? This simmering debate within the leading edge of the chip design community bubbled to the surface in the plenary sessions Wednesday during the International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED). The topic was the subject of both a lunch-time panel discussion and a plenary paper by one of the founders of the sport, IBM's Chandu Visweswariah.

| Industry Ready to Sign On to Statistical Timing Signoff |
Until recently, statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) had been the darling of EDA-centric technical conferences and symposia for several years. Sep 27, 2007 |
|
| Process Variations Require Integrated Sign-Off Solutions |
In the traditional ASIC design flow, the sign-off stage was a key, well-defined point in the chip-making process. The designers would complete their front-end design and gate-level implementation, run timing sign-off using a static timing analysis tool, and hand the design to the ASIC foundry along with the timing constraints.

| Limits of Test Time Reduction |
Nanometer fabrication processes offer higher circuit density and better performance but also present new challenges. Systematic and random defects that were a nuisance above 90 nm are now killer defects. Jun 01, 2006 |
|
| How Much Test Compression is Enough? |
Each new manufacturing process generation brings with it a whole new set of challenges. In an era of multimillion-gate complexity and increasing density of nanometer manufacturing defects, a key challenge today is creating the highest quality deep submicron (DSM) manufacturing tests in the most cost-effective manner possible.
