Standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools can be used to produce a semiconductor layout, which can be used to manufacture a device with targeted performance specifications. Unfortunately, ...

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

There has been vast progress over the last 30 years or so in digital layout automation, making it possible to develop complex digital ICs relatively quickly. However, for analog layout, techniques are ...

Rapid placement of devices and other structures like taps, dummy devices and guard rings to produce electrically correct layout while adhering to DRC rules. Multiple layout choices to be generated ...

An apparent iPhone 13 dummy leak suggests Apple plans to rearrange the rear-facing camera layout on some devices this year. It appears handsets with just two camera sensors — like the regular iPhone ...

As we work through the sub-20 nm design space, the interactions between and effects on devices that are near each other are becoming critical factors in achieving the desired electrical performance.
