Book: Design for Manufacturability and Statistical Design

The paperback version of my book "Design for Manufacturability and Statistical Design: A Constructive Approach"  is now available on Amazon. About the book: Design for Manufacturability and Statistical Design: A Constructive Approach provides a thorough treatment of the causes of variability, methods for statistical data characterization, and techniques for modeling, analysis, and optimization of integrated circuits to improve yield. The objective of the constructive approach developed in this book is to formulate a consistent set of methods and principles necessary for rigorous statistical design and design for manufacturability from device physics to large-scale circuit optimization.
