  • Patent number: 9281252
    Abstract: A method includes providing a semiconductor structure. An external mechanical stress is applied to the semiconductor structure. One or more semiconductor manufacturing processes are performed while the external mechanical stress is applied to the semiconductor structure. The one or more semiconductor manufacturing processes provide one or more material layers having an intrinsic stress at the semiconductor structure. After performing the one or more semiconductor manufacturing processes, the external mechanical stress is removed from the semiconductor structure. The removal of the external mechanical stress at least partially relaxes the intrinsic stress of the one or more material layers.

  • Publication number: 20150213174
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a design verification tool and simulate a circuit design with a regression. The computing system can capture events performed by a circuit design simulated with a regression and identify that one or more combinations of the captured events covers system level functionality of the circuit design. The computing system can determine whether the system level functionality covered by the combinations of the captured events was previously uncovered for the circuit design, and generate a regression efficiency metric configured to quantify newly covered system level functionality prompted by the regression.

  • Publication number: 20150213173
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a design verification tool and simulate a circuit design with a test bench. The computing system can identify multiple components in the circuit design to combine for distributed state coverage analysis based, at least in part, on data transactions generated during the simulation of the circuit design. The computing system can correlate information captured during simulation that corresponds to the identified components. The correlated information can identify at least one distributed state coverage event for the test bench. The computing system can generate a distributed state coverage metric based on the correlated information corresponding to the identified components. The computing system can prompt presentation of the correlated information a display window, which can graphically show how a test bench exercised the identified components during simulation.

  • Publication number: 20150213169
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a design verification tool and simulate a circuit design with a regression. The computing system can define coverage for system level functionality of a circuit design as a set of system level coverage points. Each of the system level coverage points can correspond to a different portion of system level functionality of the circuit design. The computing system can correlate the system level coverage points in the set according to characteristics of the different portions of the system level functionality corresponding to the system level coverage points. The computing system can utilize the correlated set of system level coverage points to identify system level functionality left uncovered by events performed by the circuit design during simulation with one or more regressions.
