Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become the dominant reliability concern for nanoscale PMOS transistors. In this paper, a predictive model is developed for the deg...
We develop a novel on-line built-in self-test (BIST) technique for testing FPGAs that has a very high diagnosability even in presence of clustered faults, a fault pattern for whic...
A high-to-low switching DC-DC converter that operates at input supply voltages up to two times as high as the maximum voltage permitted in a nanometer CMOS technology is proposed ...

This work first presents an analytical repeater insertion method which optimizes power under delay constraint for a single net. This method finds the optimal repeater insertion ...
Logic duplication is an effective method for improving circuit performance. In this paper we present an algorithm named SPD that performs simultaneous placement and duplication to...
