Aggressive process scaling and increasing clock rates have made crosstalk noise an important issue in VLSI design. Switching on adjacent wires on long bus lines can increase delay...
Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
