| Abstract(in English) | Due to progressing the process technology in LSI and increasing delay variations of interconnection and gate delays after fabrication, timing violations cause significant reduction in the yield of LSI chips. To recover the timing violations, programmable delay elements called PDEs are inserted into the clock tree before fabrication and their delays are tuned after fabrication. In this paper, we use PDEs with two delay value and propose a PDE structure, a design flow for circuits with the PDEs using commercial IC design tools, and a delay tuning method of the PDE for the yield improvement and the reduction of the number of tests. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective. |
