Gate-length biasing is a runtime leakage reduction technique that leverages on the short-channel effect by marginally increasing the gate-length of MOS devices to significantly ...
— In this paper we propose a new metric called “effective tunneling capacitance” (Ct eff ) to quantify the transient swing in the gate leakage (gate oxide tunneling) current ...
Leakage power reduction in cache memories continues to be a critical area of research because of the promise of a significant pay-off. Various techniques have been developed so fa...
Due to the large geometry of through-silicon-vias (TSVs) and their connections to the power grid, significant current crowding can occur in 3D ICs. Prior works model TSVs and pow...
Power gating has been widely adopted in multicore designs. The design of fast and reliable power mode transition for per-core power gating remains a challenging problem. This paper...
