  • Abstract
    Manufacturing process variability compromises design aggressiveness, yield and system-level power-performance. This paper presents strategies for unraveling variability to understand its sources so that appropriate corrective action can be applied. The strategies are applied to data representing operation of finished electronic circuits, including product test results on real product hardware.
