چکیده

In this paper we present a new approach for computing the critical area for shorts in a circuit layout. The critical area calculation is the main computational problem in VLSI yield prediction. The method is based on the concept of Voronoi diagrams and computes the critical area for shorts (for all possible defect radii, assuming square defects) accurately in O(n log n) time, where n is the size of the input. The method is presented for rectilinear layouts but it is extendible to general layouts. As a byproduct we brieey sketch how to speed up the grid method of Wagner and Koren 16].

Net-aware Critical Area extraction for VLSI opens via Voronoi diagrams

We address the problem of computing critical area for opens in a circuit layout in the presence of loops and redundant interconnects. The extraction of critical area is the main computational problem in VLSI yield prediction for random manufacturing defects. Our approach first models the problem as a graph problem and solves it efficiently by exploiting its geometric nature. The approach expand...

Automatic implementation of a new recovery coefficient for Reliable contour milling

In contour milling, to render the machining process more automated with significant productivity without remaining material after machining, a new recovery coefficient was developed. The coefficient was inserted in the computation of contour parallel tool paths to fix the radial depth of cut in the way to ensure an optimized overlap area between the passes in the corners, without residuals. Thu...

Efficient implementation of low time complexity and pipelined bit-parallel polynomial basis multiplier over binary finite fields

This paper presents two efficient implementations of fast and pipelined bit-parallel polynomial basis multipliers over GF (2m) by irreducible pentanomials and trinomials. The architecture of the first multiplier is based on a parallel and independent computation of powers of the polynomial variable. In the second structure only even powers of the polynomial variable are used. The par...
