November 15 & 16 2009, Trondheim, Norway

Who:

Lanny L. Lewyn, Technical Advisor to Tanner EDA, the world leader in PC-based analog, mixed-signal (A/MS) and MEMS circuit design software, is giving a pre-conference tutorial and invited paper on Physical Design and Reliability Issues in Nanoscale Analog CMOS Technologies at the IEEE Nordic Microelectronics or NORCHIP event.

Dr. Lewyn is president of Lewyn Consulting Inc. (Laguna Beach, CA) and is a Life Senior Member of the IEEE. He holds 29 U.S. patents in CMOS and bipolar circuits, and B.S. Eng. and M.S.E.E. degrees from the California Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. E.E. from Stanford University.

What:

Title

Physical Design and Reliability Issues in Nanoscale Analog CMOS Technologies

Abstract

Physical design deficiencies found after post-layout-extraction result in re-layout and a waste of the industry’s most valuable commodity: time to market. This tutorial presents an overview of these effects on nanoscale analog circuit design and explores how to mitigate them.
