A simplified step from RTL to GDSII consists of the blocks shown in the image above. The OpenLANE flow takes in the RTL from your design and the PDKs provided by the foundries. Then, everything else ...

Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips contain many other transistors besides the access transistor to enable full operation of the DRAM memory. These peripheral transistors must meet stringent ...

As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...

Abstract: Impact of strain of sub-3 nm gate-all-around (GAA) CMOS transistors on the circuit performance is evaluated using a neural compact model. The model was trained using 3D technology ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the performance of the conventional CMOS inverter, NAND-2 and NOR-2 static logic gates operating in the subthreshold region. The dependence of the drain currents on the ...

The growing scale and complexity of artificial intelligence (AI) models has prompted several new research efforts in the area of neuromorphic computing. A key aim of neuromorphic computing is to ...

Achieving improvements in performance in advanced SoCs and packages — those used in mobile applications, data centers, and AI — will require complex and potentially costly changes in architectures, ...
