  • Abstract
    The parameters that affect the productivity-wafer size, design system, levels of vertical integration, minimum feature dimension, chip size, and defect density-are examined. Expressions in terms of these parameters are given for the chip size that optimizes productivity at the wafer level. Figures of merit are shown for determination of the optimal design point
