Innovation Practices Track: VLSI Functional Safety

In safety-critical applications, e.g., automotive, how to avoid or alleviate risk due to hazards caused by silicon/IC malfunction is a key field, aka functional safety (FuSa). While there have been several standards established for FuSa, e.g., ISO 26262, there are still many technical challenges in this field, for example, tradeoff between cost and effectiveness, new safety mechanism for transient, intermittent or degrading faults. In this session we invited the industry experts to present the latest developments in these domains and share their insights.
