This paper focuses on the implementation of different techniques for the integration of yield estimation in the synthesis loop of analog integrated circuits (ICs). MOEA/D (Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition) is considered to be a very powerful multi-objective optimization algorithm. For the consideration of yield, several techniques are discussed and three different yield-aware Pareto front (PF) generation techniques have been implemented on the MOEA/D optimizer. The implemented yield-aware PF techniques are compared by designing a fully-differential folded-cascode amplifier with different number of objectives. In order to embed the variation effects into the optimization loop, the statistical analysis of the circuit has been carried out by using a Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) technique. The results suggest that especially two of these techniques look promising for high dimensional robust optimization of analog circuits. |
