Explore novel ways to develop and optimize EDA for advanced CMOS technologies, working towards future implementations that utilize fine-grain 3D integration of heterogeneous technologies.

What you will do

You design and develop EDA approaches to address the current limitations of industrial and open-source tools concerning the targeting of advanced CMOS technologies.

Main focus of the work will be geared towards addressing EDA challenges within a CMOS 2.0 context. Fine-grain 3D integration of heterogeneous technologies poses novel challenges across the whole EDA spectrum from logic synthesis to thermal modelling.

Your task will be to ensure accurate and trustworthy DTCO research in technology and design contexts which are yet to be optimized by state-of-the-art EDA. This is the first time that imecs pathfinding activities will incorporate an EDA optimization and development perspective. Therefore, this is a rare opportunity to work on the bleedi...
