Sequence Design’s Dr. Rob Mathews Joins High-Powered ISQED Statistical Design Panel Tuesday, March 19

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sequence Design:

WHO: Dr. Rob Mathews, Sequence Design VP of Extraction Products.

WHAT: ISQED Panel: “Statistical Design – Solutions Searching for Problems?” Other panelists represent Cadence, Extreme DA, Solido, Synopsys, TSMC, Xoomsys, and the moderator is Mike Santarini.

WHEN: Wednesday, March 19, Noon

WHERE: Donner Room, ISQED 2008, Doubletree Hotel, San Jose, Calif.

WHY: The panel will discuss statistical design as the salvation for design variability issues in sub-130nm designs. Although progress has been made, it has yet to be widely used. It is needed at the front-end of the process, but the information to support it is hard to get. Panelists will debate the viability of this approach and offer practical methods to employ statistical design effectively today.

BACKGROUND: Dr. Mathews advocates using Statistically Accurate Corners as an alternative to Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) in a recent article published by SOCcentral: http://www.soccentral.com/results.asp?entryID=24630.
