Nowadays digital systems are continuously growing in complexity and the ASIC industry is struggling to meet schedule. About two thirds of the industry are behind with their planned projects. Similarly, the industry is struggling to keep pace in terms of quality. In accordance with the studies reported in the literature, it can be noticed that there is a gap between the ability to fabricate and manufacture according to Moore’s law and what can actually be designed in reality within a given project schedule. The first study was carried out by ITRS and refers to the productivity gap. The other one is a Collett study that describes functional verification and adoption of technology and again makes reference to the gap between what can be verified and what can be designed.
