Process Technology Variation

Managing Process Variation in Intel’s 45nm CMOS Technology

The key message of this paper is that process variation is not an insurmountable barrier to Moore’s Law, but is simply another challenge to be overcome. This message is illustrated with data from the 45nm process generation where process variation is shown to be at least equivalent to (and in many cases better than) process variation in the 65nmand 90nm-process generations. We begin this paper ...

Representing Process Variation with a Process Famil

The formalization of process definitions has been an invaluable aid in many domains. However, noticeable variations in processes start to emerge as precise details are added to process definitions. While each such variation gives rise to a different process, these processes might more usefully be considered as variants of each other, rather than completely different processes. This paper propos...
