Wide variation in the way clinical services are provided to similar patients for similar visit types results in highly variable costs but similar clinical outcomes. Objective: To identify optimal ...

The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

Advanced process technologies are generating significant challenges for modern IC designers as the physics of the 130- and 90-nanometer generation bring what were previously noise-level effects to the ...

Venice, Florida &@8212 Solido Design Automation has introduced a scalable and extensible solution for meeting design challenges created by process variations at nanometer feature sizes. The new ...

Chipmakers are pushing into sub-threshold operation in an effort to prolong battery life and reduce energy costs, adding a whole new set of challenges for design teams. While process and environmental ...

With semiconductor feature sizes continuing to shrink, the variability arising from process technologies such as strained silicon, as well as the manufacturing processes themselves at 45 nm and below, ...
