Abstract
A novel methodology for investigating wafer-scale integration (WSI) designs is proposed. This methodology combines the results of work on integrated circuit yield modeling with a study of the effects of system architecture in large-area integrated circuit yield. This work provides a hierarchical framework in which computing structures may be analyzed to determine functionality on a wafer scale and develops methods by which this functionality can be optimized
