On the effect of floorplanning on the yield of large area integrated circuits

On the Effect of Floorplanning on the Yield of Large Area Integrated Circuits - Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, IEEE Transactions on

Until recently, VLSI designers rarely considered yield issues when selecting a floorplan for a newly designed chip. This paper demonstrates that for large area VLSI chips, especially those that incorporate some fault tolerance, changes in the floorplan can affect the projected yield. We study several general floorplan structures, make some specific recommendations, and apply them to actual VLSI...

Constructive floorplanning with a yield objective

The ability to improve the yield of integrated circuits through layout modification has been recognized, and several techniques for yield enhanced routing and compaction have been developed. Still, yield issues are rarely a factor in the choice of the floorplan mainly due to the tendency to focus on the more important timing and area objectives. Consequently, floorplanning tools have been devel...

A Survey of Various Metaheuristic Algorithms Used to Solve VLSI Floorplanning Problem

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Floorplanning is an important problem in very large scale integrated-circuit (VLSI) design automation as it determines the performance, size, yield, and reliability of VLSI chips. From the computational point of view, VLSI floorplanning is an NP-ha...

Design and Implementation of MOSFET Circuits and CNTFET, Ternary Multiplier in the Field of Galois

Due to the high density and the low consumption power in the digital integrated circuits, mostly technology of CMOS is used. During the past times, the Metal oxide silicon field effect transistors (MOSFET) had been used for the design and implementation of the digital integrated circuits because they are compact and also they have the less consumption power and delay to the other transistors. B...
