What is Crosstalk in VLSI and its Impact on 7nm Technology?
As we dig deep into lower technology nodes in IC (integrated circuit) design, we always witness a downscale of design relative to earlier technology nodes. With each contraction in technology nodes, many things, such as the width of metal wires and transistor size, tend to be downscaled. As a result, RC (Resistive-capacitive) delays are significantly […]
What Is The Antenna Effect in VLSI?
The most sensitive component of a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) transistor is the gate oxide. During the construction of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), special care must be taken to safeguard it from damage both throughout the fabrication process and during the functioning of the ASIC. Some unwanted impacts can arise throughout an actual […]
