About the Panel
This panel will focus on the process variability affecting analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital designs, the various challenges it raises and the solutions that can be applied to handle those issues. A presentation of the various types of process variability (lot to lot or global variations, local variations such as mismatch, layout effects…) will be done. The stakes of this variability will be highlighted, in particular the effects on the yield. The various approaches to handle this variability will be presented. At simulation level, from PVT corner simulations to statistical analysis (Monte Carlo and enhanced Monte Carlo), various approaches can help the designer to analyze the effects of the process variability, and to determine the yield. The model-based approach, which uses simulation results to build a behavioural model, allows the designer to optimize the device sizes taking into account the process variability in order to minimize its effects and maximize the yield. Some concrete examples will be presented, with the presentation of the design, the effects of process variability, the solutions that were implemented and the final results. Finally, the panel will be concluded by on open discussion and questions from the audience.

About InfiniScale
InfiniScale provides a unique variation-aware custom IC design solutions dedicated to analysis and optimization of performances and parametric yield for analog and mixed-signal designs. InfiniScale Lysis flow enables variation-aware design methods that can accurately and promptly estimate the risks into variation sensitive devices. With Lysis, the designer is able to run a million MC in seconds, to visualize PVT influence on performances in real-time, and to optimize parametric yield in an hour. InfiniScale Lysis solution enables designers delivering products on time, while maximizing robustness and yield.
