Increasing challenges arise with each new semiconductor technology node, especially in advanced nodes, where the industry tries to extract every ounce of benefit as it approaches the limits of physics, through manufacturing-aware design technology co-optimization and design-based equivalent scaling. The increasing complexity of design and process technologies, and ever-more complex design rules, also become hurdles for academic researchers, separating academic researchers from the most up-to-date technical issues.This thesis presents innovative methodologies and optimizations to address the above challenges. There are three directions in this thesis: (i) manufacturing-aware design technology co-optimization; (ii) advanced node design-based ...
