With the advent of very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI), and their mass production, the number of placement slots that can be placed in a limited area has increased dramatically. The placement of the logical design on the semiconductor chips must now be achieved with respect to the size...
The VLSI design cycle is partitioned into two phases i.e. front-end and back-end phases of the complete SoC design cycle. While at front-end, most of the architectural specifications, coding and verification parts are performed; similarly back-end involves more with the physical implementation ...
Both logical and physical construction of voltage islands is disclosed. A semiconductor chip design is partitioned into “bins”, which are areas of the design. In this way, a semiconductor chip design may be “sliced” into various areas and the areas may then be assigned to various voltage...
(i) there exists at least one single location at a time pattern explained by a stuck-at fault, and (ii) physical neighbors of a fault location are the only locations that can cause the stuck-at fault; andstoring said model, andwherein said constructing a model additionally comprises ...
