Starting from the 90nm technology node, process induced stress has played a key role in the design of highperformance devices. The emergence of source/drain silicon germanium (S/D ...
We propose a technology mapping algorithm that takes existing structural technology-mapping algorithms based on dynamic programming [1,3,4] and extends them to retime pipelined cir...
