This research proposes to develop techniques for concurrent optimization of both the circuit cell libraries and the fabrication process. A key advantage of the proposed approach is that it allows both the circuit designer and fabrication process engineer to work towards the common goal of maximizing yield, which will in turn reduce product cost. A second advantage is that through concurrent engineering, this approach can significantly reduce product development time. Provisions have been made for validating proposed techniques in an industrial setting. The research component of this proposal is also complemented by an extensive education plan for integrating studies in concurrent design into the undergraduate curriculum.

本研究建议开发同时优化电路单元库和制造工艺的技术。 所提出方法的一个关键优点是，它允许电路设计师和制造工艺工程师共同努力实现产量最大化的共同目标，从而降低产品成本。 第二个优点是，通过并行工程，这种方法可以显着缩短产品开发时间。 已经制定了在工业环境中验证拟议技术的规定。 该提案的研究部分还得到了一项广泛的教育计划的补充，该计划将并行设计研究纳入本科课程。
