ESD IP Explorer as mentioned in this paper is a tool for full-chip static ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) verification on 28nm UTBB (Ultra-thin-body and BOX-Buried Oxide) FD-SOI High-K metal gate technology.
Abstract
This paper describes a tool for full-chip static ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) verification called ESD IP Explorer. The tool feasibility is first demonstrated on a 64-pin custom R&D testchip. Its scalability is tested in a second example involving a 138mm² 3,066-bump prototype, which basic verification is performed in less than 8 hours. Both examples are in 28nm UTBB (Ultra-thin-body and BOX — Buried Oxide) FD-SOI High-K metal gate technology. More advanced static verification features are finally discussed.

Applied Regression Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the Straight Line Case is used to fit a straight line by least squares, and the Durbin-Watson Test is used for checking the straight line fit.

Drawing graphs with dot

TL;DR: Graphdot draws directed graphs as hierarchies with well-tuned layout algorithms for placing nodes and edge splines, edge labels, “record” shapes with “ports” for drawing data structures; cluster layouts; and an underlying file language for stream-oriented graph tools.
