Migration to 90nm faster than expected

Posted: 02 Oct 2006

Print Version

Keywords: 90nm DFM ASIC Open-Silicon 130nm

[Summary of tips] With 90nm designs quickly moving into the mainstream, engineers face trade-offs in balancing design-for-manufacturing (DFM) guidelines against extracting the performance and die-shrink improvements the technology promises."Engineers have to put on their thinking caps and use their analytical abilities and experience," said Jay ......
