This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) Project Grant award of $600,000 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota aims to develop optimization strategies for improving supply voltage integrity and reliability in power distribution networks (PDNs) for advanced integrated circuits and chips. The key research objectives include addressing voltage drop and electromigration challenges in today's widely used front-side interconnects as well as newer backside interconnect technologies, while also optimizing the interplay between PDN design and digital circuit timing. The project will leverage physics-based approaches to predict chip lifetimes by modeling electromigration-induced stress in interconnects. In addition, the award includes an educational component to attract students, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, to the field of electronic design automation. The project period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
