Experts at the Table, part 2: How the very fast progress of the semiconductor industry is making transistor aging even more difficult. Elhak: Yes. If you take the same transistor with the same stress ...

In a recent study done by McKinsey and IDC, we see that physical design and verification costs are increasing exponentially with shrinking transistor sizes. As figure 1 shows, physical design (PD) and ...

As the electronic design industry continues to push the limits of Moore's Law, a paradigm shift in timing analysis must be considered. The major reason for this is overly pessimistic timing analysis, ...
