Timing Criticality-Aware Design Optimization using BEOL Air Gap Technology on Consecutive Metal Layers
Air-gap (AG) technology on back-end-of-line (BEOL) provides a means to improve performance without area or power degradation. However, the “blind” use of AG based on traditional design methodologies does not provide sufficient performance gain. We developed an AG-aware design met...
