      Digital CMOS Integrated Circuits (ICs) suffer from serious layout features printability issues associated to the lithography manufacturing process. Regular layout designs are emerging as alternative solutions to reduce ...
    • Lithography parametric yield estimation model to predict layout pattern distortions with a reduced set of lithography simulations 

      Gómez Fernández, Sergio; Moll Echeto, Francisco de Borja; Mauricio Ferré, Juan (2014-07-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      A lithography parametric yield estimation model is presented to evaluate the lithography distortion in a printed layout due to lithography hotspots. The aim of the proposed yield model is to provide a new metric that enables ...
    • On the use of static temperature measurements as process variation observable
