3. CONFIDENTIAL 3 MODERN 1st Year Review June 22, 2010 Objectives The objective of the MODERN project is to develop new paradigms in integrated circuit design that will enable the manufacturing of reliable, low cost, low EMI, high-yield complex products using unreliable and variable devices. Specifically, the main goals of the project are:  Advanced, yet accurate, models of process variations for nanometre devices, circuits and complex architectures.  Effective methods for evaluating the impact of process variations on manufacturability, design reliability and circuit performance. oReliability, noise, EMC/EMI. oTiming, power and yield.  Design methods and tools to mitigate or tolerate the effects of process variations on those quantities applicable at the device, circuit and architectural levels.  Validation of the modelling and design methods and tools on a variety of silicon demonstrators. Layout and strain induced variability (Synopsys)
