  • Abstract
    Reconfigurable interconnect is required to implement defect-tolerant circuits. The impact of this wiring on yield is usually either ignored or overstated. A method is presented that allows the determination of the yield impact of the interconnect in reconfigurable circuits through the expanded use of critical area parameters.
