Integrated Circuits

Semiconductors Integrated Circuit Design for Manufacturability Artur Balasinski

Cypress Semiconductor, San Diego, California, USA

Because of the continuous evolution of integrated circuit manufacturing (ICM) and design for manufacturability (DfM), most books on the subject are obsolete before they even go to press. That’s why the field requires a reference that takes the focus off of numbers and concentrates more on larger economic concepts than on technical details. Semiconductors: Integrated Circuit Design for Manufacturability covers the gradual evolution of integrated circuit design (ICD) as a basis to propose strategies for improving return-oninvestment (ROI) for ICD in manufacturing. Where most books put the spotlight on detailed engineering enhancements and their implications for device functionality, in contrast, this one offers crucial, valuable historical background and roadmapping—all illustrated with examples. The book shows that DfM is a powerful generic engineering concept with potential extending beyond its usual application in automated layout enhancements centered on proximity correction and pattern density. This material explores the concept of ICD for production by breaking down its major steps: product definition, design, layout, and manufacturing. Circumventing extended discussion of technology, techniques, or specific device dimensions, the author also avoids the clumsy chapter architecture that can hinder other books on this subject. The result is an extremely functional, systematic presentation that simplifies existing approaches to DfM, outlining a clear set of criteria to help readers assess reliability, functionality, and yield.

With careful consideration of the economic and technical trade-offs involved in ICD for manufacturing, this reference addresses techniques for physical, electrical, and logical design. It keeps the coverage fresh and concise for the designers, manufacturers, and researchers defining product architecture and research programs. • Presents actual test cases of manufacturing and product challenges and lists the possible solutions • Demonstrates how to select the right strategy based on engineering grading and the best way to implement it • Addresses semiconductor technology and EDA issues • Covers ROI, design maturity, and manufacturing for logical, electrical, and physical design Selected Contents: Introduction to DfM: Three Product Questions. SMART Goals. Is/Is Not. Migrating Industrial DfM into IC Manufacturing: The Rule of 10. Concurrent Engineering. Doing It Right the First Time. Product-Level DfM: Product Definition. Product Architecture. System on Chip vs. System in Package. Design-Level DfM: Logical Synthesis. Electrical Models: MOSFETs. Circuits. DfM Metrics: Yield (DfY). Testability (OfT). Mask Ratio. Cycletime. DfM Tools: Design Rule Check Engines. IP Management. Conclusions.

This book explores model-based testing from a number of different perspectives. Combining various aspects of embedded systems and software—and how they are applied—it covers theory and practice concerning the test specification and validation of complex software-intensive embedded systems. Model-based testing refers to software testing in which test cases are either wholly or partially derived from a model, illustrating selected aspects of a system under test. Detailed examples from industry provide solutions that are applicable in real-world testing practices. The text provides a better understanding of system and software quality problems, as well as the entire test process. • Clarifies theory and practice associated with test specification and validation of complex software-intensive embedded systems

Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters Techniques and Implementation Siew-Chong Tan, Yuk-Ming Lai, and Chi-Kong Tse

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Kowloon

This reference provides a complete understanding of sliding mode control principles and application to power converters. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory, it describes various theories, operating principles, and information relevant to the current development of sliding mode controllers and their applications. The book also reviews traditional and modern implementation techniques of sliding mode control for power converters, covering pulse-width modulation and conventional hysteresis modulation.

Auburn University, Alabama, USA

Written by two renowned engineers, this text provides an overview of the profession for engineering professionals and students whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical engineering (EE). Simple and easy to use, yet more than sufficient in rigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, this resource teaches EE fundamentals but omits the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for the audience. The authors provide many examples to illustrate concepts and problems to help readers understand and apply the material. In many cases, books for non-EEs present watered-down classical EE material, resulting in unpopular courses that students hate and senior faculty members understandingly avoid teaching. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determined through their own teaching experience as well as significant input from non-EE faculty. They provide several important contemporary interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a full-color modern narrative that bridges the various EE and non-EE curricula, enabling a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy.
