Invited Talks
Reliability and Safety Challenges of Automotive Devices
Summary Recent years, to enhance automotive functionalities for more driving enjoyment and hazard prevention, more and more electronic devices are used to monitor and control automotive operation. To ensure the safety of drivers and passengers, these electronic devices need higher reliability. In this talk, we will present what Mentor Graphics are doing to prepare for these reliability and safety challenges in pre-silicon, post-silicon and system operations. About the Speaker Wu-Tung Cheng is a Chief Scientist and Advanced Test Research Director in Mentor Graphics. He is an IEEE fellow since year 2000. He has over 150 publications and 50 patents in semiconductor manufacture test and diagnosis area. In 2006, ...
Reliability Challenges for Large ASICs
In this talk, Yongsheng Sun(孙 永生), will introduce HiSilicon (海思) and describe their cutting edge products. HiSilicon is one of the largest fabless companies and currently ships chips in the most advanced process technologies. Due to their success and huge number of products being shipped, reliability is a top concern. Sarinda Wang will describe the key challenges when designing highly reliable, silicon intenstive products. Specific issues will also be discussed to sensitisize the audience to the real-world reliability problems faced when shipping products in the most advanced technologies. About the Speaker Yongsheng Sun received the B.S and M.S degree in Microelectronics from the University of Electronic ...
Aging Models for Analog Circuit Level Simulations – Integration and Deployment Challenges
Overview In the analog circuit design domain Spice simulators are the most commonly used tools for design exploration and verification. Consequentially an integration of add-on models for aging effects like BTI and HCI using one of several available interfaces is considered a straightforward enhancement allowing to address reliability analysis and verification. This talk will give an outline of all the not-so-straightforward challenges arising from the integration and deployment of complex aging models in the harsh environmental conditions of state-of-the-art EDA tool ecosystems. About the Speaker Peter Rotter was born in Germany in 1965. He received the diploma degree in physics from the University of Regensburg ...
