Multidimensional monte-carlo simulation for yield prediction

摘要

An embodiment includes a computer program product for providing a yield prediction. The computer program product has a non-transitory computer readable medium with a computer program embodied thereon. The computer program comprises computer program code for obtaining a representation of a circuit. The circuit comprises a common path and a critical path, and the critical path represents multiple parallel paths. The computer program further comprises computer program code for obtaining a first table representing the common path and a second table representing the multiple parallel paths and computer program code for performing a variable based simulation based on the representation of the circuit, the first table, and the second table. The computer program also comprises computer program code for determining a result indication of each of the multiple parallel paths based on the variable based simulation compared with a predetermined specification.

1. A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium with a computer program embodied thereon, the computer program comprising:
computer program code for obtaining a representation of a circuit, the circuit comprising a common path and a critical path, the critical path representing multiple parallel paths, the representation of the circuit not including the multiple parallel paths; computer program code for obtaining a first random variable table and a second random variable table, the first random variable table comprising first random variable data of local variation within the common path, the second random variable table comprising second random variable data of local variation within the multiple parallel paths, the first random variable table not including data representing variation within the multiple parallel paths, the second random variable table not including data representing variation within the common path; computer program code for performing a variable based simulation based on the representation of the circuit, the first random variable data of the local variation within the common path, and the second random variable data of the local variation within the multiple parallel paths; and computer program code for determining a result indication of each of the multiple parallel paths based on the variable based simulation compared with a predetermined specification.
