Design Technology Co-Optimization in a state-of the-art technology

Abstract

DTCO (Design Technology Co-Optimization) is the process of jointly optimizing the design and technology parameters of advanced semiconductor devices. The approach is critical to achieving high-performance, low-power, and cost-effective solutions. DTCO for a new technology node involves substantial architectural innovation instead of just delivering the exact same structure as the previous generation to maximize the gain by pushing the limits of the “process window”. During the keynote, we will showcase an example of Design Technology Co-Optimization at TSMC.
