A novel sensitivity model for short nets

Abstract

For modern processes at deep sub-micron technology nodes, yield design, especially the design at the layout stage is an important way to deal with the problem of manufacturability and yield. In order to reduce the yield loss caused by redundancy material defects, the choice of nets to be optimized at first is an important step in the process of layout optimization. This paper provides a new sensitivity model for a short net, which is net-based and reflects the size of the critical area between a single net and the nets around it. Since this model is based on a single net and includes the information of the surrounding nets, the critical area between the single net and surrounding nets can be reduced at the same time. In this way, the efficiency of layout optimization becomes higher. According to experimental observations, this sensitivity model can be used to choose the position for optimization. Compared with the chip-area-based and basiclayout-based sensitivity models, our sensitivity model not only has higher efficiency, but also confirms that choosing the net to be optimized at first improves the design.

Open critical area model and extraction algorithm based on the net flow-axis

“…With the constant development of the integrated circuit (IC) technology, the IC feature size is decreasing, and therefore the IC yield loss due to manufacturing defects [1][2][3][4][5] becomes more and more serious, resulting in failing to obtain the expected yield by designing integrated circuits just based on the IC design rules. [6][7][8][9] The very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI) is sensitive to defects in the IC manufacturing process, and the rate of the IC yield loss which is caused by defects in the manufacturing process is more than 80%.…”
