Abstract
A system and method is provided for optimizing semiconductor power by integration of physical design timing and product performance measurements. The method includes: establishing a timing run and identifying a sigma code for the timing run; establishing ring oscillator bins and respective code; identifying a required timing run for a second level assembly to satisfy a selected voltage bin; timing a product using the required timing run; testing a ring oscillator of the product using the timing to obtain physical design identification; recording the physical design identification and the sigma code for the timing run; and using the recorded physical design identification and the sigma code to set a voltage for the product to optimize power.
