Hello Dear Readers, Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight into the Signal Electromigration (Signal EM): Violations, Examples, and Practical Fixes. 1. Introduction: As technology nodes shrink into the deep‑submicron and nanometer regime (7nm, 5nm, 3nm and beyond), electromigration (EM) has become a first‑order reliability concern—not only for power/ground (PG) networks but also for signal nets. Signal EM failures are often underestimated because signal currents are transient and bidirectional. However, with higher switching activity, tighter metal pitches, thinner wires, and aggressive timing closure, signal EM can cause latent or early‑life failures if not addressed properly. This article explains: What Signal EM is and how it differs from PG EM Typical Signal EM violation scenarios Detailed, practical examples Root causes behind each violation Proven solutions and best practices to fix and prevent Signal EM issues 2. What is Signal Electromigration: El...
Hello Dear Readers,
Currently at Nvidia Bangalore vacancy for a CPU Logic Design Engineer.
What you'll be doing:
As a member of our CPU team, you'll own and be responsible for crafting and timely delivery of a specific unit on the chip.
Day to day tasks include: writing readable high performance and low power RTL, Synthesis and Timing closure, and design documentation.
Collaborate with our verification team to verify the correctness of your unit.
Work with implementation to achieve your timing, area, performance and power goals.
Assist with timing closure of super units.
What we need to see:
A Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent experience.
2+ years of experience in processor or other related high-performance semiconductor designs.
Verilog expertise required as is a deep understanding of ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis, prototyping, DFT, timing analysis, floor-planning, ECO, bring-up & lab debug
Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required along with the work in a dynamic, global team. Your successful track record of mentoring junior engineers and interns a huge plus.
A strong background in computer architecture is highly desirable
