The objectives of good chip design have traditionally included issues like performance, power and reliability. Yield is rarely considered during the design process, except in the design of memory ICs, where specic defect-tolerance techniques are incorporated into the architecture for yield enhancement. In order to make the case for establishing yield as another design objective we must rst prove that a chip's yield can not only be aected, but consistently improved, by decisions made during the design process. 1.
Yield and Routing Objectives in Floorplanning

Traditionally the #oorplan of a chip has been determined so as to minimize the total chip area and reduce the routing costs. Recently, it has been shown that the #oorplan also a#ects the yield of the chip. Consequently, it becomes desirable to consider the expected yield, in addition to the cost of routing, when selecting a #oorplan.
