New technologies such as Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) are helping by taking much of the sting out of the variation crisis that designers are facing. The challenge now becomes enabling SSTA with a robust process-intelligent modeling methodology that can translate manufacturing data into usable statistical device, cell and interconnect models with requisite dependability.

Researchers of the IBM Zurich 5b4 lab and the ETH Zurich university have demonstrated a new nanoprint process that could be used - among other applications - to create printed nanowires. The process features a resolution three orders of magnitude higher than known printing technologies, the researchers say. Details... more...
