A typical problem in integrated circuits is distributing a digital signal to a very large node, such as clocking for registers, memories and counters. The propagation delays and skew must be minimized to avoid malfunctions.

How is the Design Process of Microchips: Analog IC Design Flow to Tapeout
To fabricate a prototype of a IC chip is very expensive and it needs from several months up to 1 year to be finished. WHY???
Let’s explore all the designing steps that a CHIP requires…
Physical Comparison between NMOS vs PMOS Transistors
What are the differences between NMOS and PMOS devices in a CMOS technology?
What is a Fabless Chip Company?
The fabless business model is nowadays a trend in the industry. Developing an own process technology is not an option for most companies, and it is not profitable in the short- or mid-term. Moreover, the required investment is not feasible for a majority.
Specsmanship: Do manufacturers manipulate the specs of their components?
How trustworthy are the component specifications? Can I rely blindly on datasheets? How well is a device characterized by the manufacturer?
Is it Possible to Reverse Engineering a CHIP? Yes… Analog IP Piracy
Can a Microchip be copied and replicated without permission? How is this possible?
Here I will explain the Reasons and Techniques to avoid it!
