    摘要: Design methods and systems disclosed use a process window-aware timing analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) chip design for improved accuracy. Specifically, a process distribution for the design is defined and divided into process windows. Timing parameter adjustment factors are assigned to the process windows. A timing analysis is performed in order to acquire an initial solution for a timing parameter (e.g., delay, slack or slew). For each specific process window, this initial solution is adjusted by the predetermined timing parameter adjustment factor assigned to that specific process window. The adjusted solutions for the different process windows account for process window-to-process window variations in the widths of distribution of a process parameter (e.g., leakage power) and can be used to predict whether IC chips manufactured according the IC chip design will meet established timing requirements (e.g., required arrival times (RATs)) regardless of where they fall within the process distribution.

    摘要: Disclosed are a system and method that control integrated circuit chip temperature using frequency scaling based on predetermined temperature-frequency settings. During integrated circuit chip operation, a controller causes a variable clock signal generator to adjust the frequency of a clock signal that coordinates operations of an integrated circuit chip based on the temperature of the integrated circuit chip and on predetermined temperature-frequency settings. The temperature-frequency settings are predetermined in order to ensure that the frequency of the clock signal, as adjusted, remains sufficiently high to meet a chip performance specification, but sufficiently low to prevent the temperature from rising above a predetermined maximum temperature in order to limit power consumption. Also disclosed is a method of generating such temperature-frequency settings during timing analysis.

    摘要: An IC chip structure including a plurality of IC chips electrically connected to one another in back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect layer of the structure is disclosed. The IC structure may include openings in crack-stop structures surrounding the IC chips and a interconnect wire extending between the IC chips through the openings. A packaging structure for utilizing the IC structure where at least one IC chip is inoperable is also disclosed. The structure may include a first bond pad array on a top surface of a packaging substrate including operable bond pads connected to an operable IC chip and structural support bond pads connected to the inoperable IC chip; a second bond pad array on a bottom surface of the substrate including operable bond pads connected to a single IC chip printed circuit board; and an interconnect structure for connecting the operable bond pads of the first and second bond pad arrays.
