Abstract

This paper presents a practical method to estimate IC product performance and parametric yield solely from a well-chosen set of existing electrical measurements intended for technology monitoring at an early stage of manufacturing. We demonstrate that the components of mmWave PLL and productlike logic performance in a 65nm SOI CMOS technology are predicted within a 5% RMS error relative to mean.
