  • Abstract
    A third generation Pentium®4 processor is designed to meet the challenges of a 90 nm technology. Design methodology allows scalability with increased transistor performance over the life of the process. Improved design for test techniques are developed to facilitate the debug process. We also discuss improved design automation techniques to reduce hand-drawn schematics.
