Download or read book Fundamentals of Electromigration-Aware Integrated Circuit Design written by Jens Lienig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive overview of electromigration and its effects on the reliability of electronic circuits. It introduces the physical process of electromigration, which gives the reader the requisite understanding and knowledge for adopting appropriate counter measures. A comprehensive set of options is presented for modifying the present IC design methodology to prevent electromigration. Finally, the authors show how specific effects can be exploited in present and future technologies to reduce electromigration’s negative impact on circuit reliability.
