ARM, TSMC design explores 16nm finFET issues

ARM and TSMC used an extensive pre-planning process, including a static analysis of each module's overall logic structure, to put together a 2.3GHz processor design based around ARM's main 64bit Big.Little pairing for the foundry's 16nm finFET process.

On-chip variation (OCV)

Accounting for on-chip variation (OCV) has become a critical factor in assuring timing closure for nanometer-scale ICs and avoiding over-pessimistic margins.
