half-node

    0.01 sec.
half-node
A process technology that reduces the size of the chip without redesigning the circuits to fit into the smaller area. Normally, when shrinking a chip to a smaller die size, some of the circuit design has to be reworked. The half-node is different; the design remains the same, and only the real estate has been shrunk. For example, in 2008, Altera introduced an FPGA with a 40 nm half-node: 5 nm less than the standard 45 nm. This 11% reduction in size reduces power consumption. See process technology.

N28 routing rules - Provides 28nm support for the complete netlist-to-GDSII flow, including support for the 28nm transparent half-node.
This collaboration extends upon the long-standing relationship between TSMC and NetLogic Microsystems on the use of advanced cost-effective half-node technologies, including 55nm, 80nm and 110nm.
0 will accommodate new Apache innovations for: * Power noise analysis with RedHawk qualified for transparent half-node design * Thermal-aware statistical leakage modeling and analysis with RedHawk-ALP * System jitter analysis including on-chip and high performance Input/Output (I/O) noise with Sentinel-SSO At advanced process nodes, leakage power dominates total power and the process variation starts to have a significant impact on leakage variation.
