Research Interests
CAD for Analog/Digital ICs
The design and manufacturing of the state-of-the-art integrated circuits (ICs) have become extremely challenging due to ever-increasing complexity and miniaturization. ICs must be designed to obtain best possible performance (e.g., speed) while minimizing power dissipation and must be manufactured at economically acceptable yield levels. Professor Strojwas research addresses both the design and manufacturing of ULSICs.
Design for Manufacturability
This research is aimed at analysis and design of ULSICs that take into account the technology capabilities and manufacturing fluctuations. The specific projects include:
- Statistical timing verification
- Efficient and accurate 3-D parasitic element extraction
- Layout printability analysis using 3-D lithography/topography simulators
- Manufacturability analysis of low power CMOS technology solutions
Statistical Control and Diagnosis of ULSIC Manufacturing
Research in this area covers the diagnosis of reasons responsible for yield loss, such as defects and excessive process fluctuations. The specific projects include:
- Optimization of sampling strategy for in-line wafer inspection
- Modeling of contamination to defect transformation
- Diagnostic systems for ULSIC manufacturing
