As suppliers adopt 0.35-μm and finer CMOS features, they seek system-level integration with on-chip power MOSFETs. With the thrust toward system-level integration, smart power devices continue to make ...

Amid the fervor to move the next generation of microprocessors, memories, and other digital circuits to 0.13-µm CMOS production lines this year, analog and mixed-signal IC suppliers are racing to ...

Variation, edge placement error, and a variety of other issues at new process geometries are forcing chipmakers and EDA vendors to confront a growing volume of increasingly complex, and sometimes ...
