Physical Design Challenges for Automotive ASICs

Published: 12 March 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The design of automotive ASICs faces several key challenges that mainly arise from the harsh environmental operating conditions, specific functional loads, cost pressure, safety requirements, and the steady progress of the automotive-grade semiconductor technologies that are unique to automotive applications.
The talk first highlights these key differences between the design approaches for automotive and non-automotive ASIC designs. It also addresses why automotive ASIC designs prefer larger and more mature nodes compared to leading-edge non-automotive ASIC designs. In addition, the talk introduces several automotive-specific physical design problems and essential solutions for design implementation, direct-verification and meta-verification to address them. Finally, the talk provides an outlook of several related and yet-unsolved challenges in the physical design domain.
