  • ELECTROMIGRATION ANALYSIS FOR STANDARD CELL BASED DESIGNS
    Publication number: 20140181780
    Abstract: Methods and media for analyzing electrical designs are provided. A method includes and the media are configured for providing or loading to an analysis tool a design that includes a plurality of cell instances of a standard cell and estimating a failure rate of the design using in context electrical parameters for the plurality of cell instances and a parameterized electromigration (EM) view of the standard cell. Another method includes providing a standard cell of a standard cell library and characterizing the standard cell to create a parameterized thermal model to compute a temperature of an internal structure of the standard cell and a parameterized current model to compute a current through the internal structure of the standard cell given in context electrical parameters.
