👉 Degree engineering, also known as degree mapping or degree shifting, is a process used in semiconductor manufacturing to modify the electrical characteristics of a device by altering its physical dimensions, specifically the number of transistors or other components per unit area. This technique allows engineers to optimize device performance, such as increasing speed, reducing power consumption, or improving reliability, by adjusting the size of features like the channel length and width. By carefully controlling these dimensions, engineers can tailor the device's behavior to meet specific design requirements, making it a crucial tool in the development of advanced integrated circuits.
