    Abstract: A method for selecting transistor design parameters. A first set of simulations is used to calculate leakage current at a plurality of sets of design parameter values, and the results are fitted with a first response surface methodology model. The first model is used to generate a function that returns a value of a selected design parameter, for which a leakage current specification is just met. A second set of simulations is used to calculate effective drive current for a plurality of sets of design parameter values, and the results are fitted with a second response surface methodology model. The second model is used, together with the first, to search for a set of design parameter values at which a worst-case effective drive current is greatest, subject to the constraint of meeting the worst-case leakage current specification.

    Abstract: A method of circuit yield analysis for evaluating rare failure events includes performing initial sampling to detect failed samples respectively located at one or more failure regions in a multi-dimensional parametric space, generating a distribution of failed samples at discrete values along each dimension, identifying the failed samples, performing a transform to project the failed samples into all dimensions in a transform space, and classifying a type of failure region for each dimension in the parametric space.
