Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer Engineering.
The Reliability of the ICs or ASICs was assumed to always exceed the expected life- time of the product. Reliability cannot be ignored as the IC/ASIC industry moves to nano-scale geometries. Integrated Circuit technology (IC) and ASIC in particular were always designed to tradeo between Performance, Cost (Area)Power. The Re- liability of the ICs or ASICs was assumed to always exceed the expected lifetime of the product. Reliability cannot be ignored as the IC industry moves to nano-scale geometries. This paper describes a design methodology to perform tradeo s between Lifetime, Performance, Cost (Area) and Power. The main objective of this paper is to develop a design space exploration method and tools for IC/ASICs driven by lifetime concerns due to Electromigration. Our method applies to both safety based products that require longer lifetime, and also to higher performance products that are frequently replaced.
