One of the things that helps make home study in microelectronics more feasible is the existence of free software tools. In his book, Baker introduces the reader to a layout program called LASI and a ...

IC packaging, typically an afterthought in the design of a new-generation SoC, is particularly troublesome for communications circuits and high-speed interface circuits. Everyone wants small size and ...

This paper aims to emphasize on the importance of integrating design for failure analysis in the layout considerations during the IC development process. It will have a brief overview on the ...
