Abstract

In this paper we present DEFT, a system for synthesizing defect-tolerant layouts, that in-grains tolerance to fabrication induced defects. This is accomplished by dispersing nets with large overlaps into nonadjacent tracks. DEFT also affords trade-offs between area (measured as the number of tracks) and yield of the resulting layout. The defect-tolerant layouts synthesized by DEFT have been consistently superior to those generated by other layout synthesis systems.
