Knowing where the electrons are within a molecule can go a long way to explaining its structure, its properties, and its reactivity. Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) methods, ...

Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...

The use of hierarchical DFT methods is growing as design size and complexity stresses memory requirements and design schedules. Hierarchical DFT divides the design into smaller pieces, creates test ...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have become a ubiquitous feature of journal articles in all of chemistry’s subdisciplines, used by researchers to electronically characterize molecules or ...

In today’s fast growing Systems-on-Chip (SoC), incomplete or ineffective DFT support due to poor specification or loose design practices can quickly become the critical path to making market windows ...

Left-shifting DFT, scalable tests from manufacturing to the field, enabling system-level tests for in-field debug.

Many IC designers finally have embraced design for testability (DFT) in the form of scan insertion for digital circuit designs because of the significant time-to-production advantages these techniques ...
