 Introduction
 Processor Performance
 eFuse
 Application
 Conclusion

4.  Enabling a new class of
semiconductor products
that can monitor and
adjust their functions to
improve their quality,
performance and
power consumption
without human
intervention.

5. On July 30, 2004 International
Business Machines (IBM) introduced
a new Technology Chip Morphing .
CEO -Ginni RomettyFOUNDER-Charles Ranlett Flint

6.  The objective of this seminars is to define a
micro-architecture which can exhibit low power
consumption without sacrificing high
performance.
 This will require a fundamental shift to the
power-performance curve presented by
traditional microprocessors.
 The processor design must be flexible and
reconfigurable at run-time so that it may present
a series of configurations corresponding to
different tradeoffs between performance and
power consumption.

7.  PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE
 eFuse

8.  A processor must be capable of high
performance.
 Must consume low amounts of power.
 Must be able to adapt to changing
performance and power requirements at
runtime.
These motivations point to three major
objectives for a power
conscious embedded processor.

9.  eFUSE is part of a built-in self-
repair system that constantly
monitors a chip’s functionality.
 It combines unique software
algorithms and microscopic
electrical fuses to produce chips
that can regulate and adapt their
own actions in response to
changing conditions and system
demands

10.  The morphing technology also will optimize
and tailor the performance and capabilities of
a chip to meet an individual customer’s product
needs in response to changing end-user or
software demand. Customers further benefit
from the versatility of eFUSE as the morphing
can be repeated several times – even after the
chip has been packaged and shipped in a
product.

11.  Smart Phones
 Laptop/PCs
 iPad
 Tablet
 E-Gadgets
 Gaming device

12.  This phenomena has traditionally been
detrimental to chip performance and was avoided
— even at significant cost and effort.
 IBM has perfected a technique that harnesses
electromigration and uses it to program a fuse
without damaging other parts of the chip.
 Previous implementations of on-chip fuse
technology in the industry often involved
rupturing fuses, which had resulted in unwanted
performance and reliability problems.
