The effect of shield structures for local wirings of analog integrated circuits on crosstalk is determined by electromagnetic simulation. The crosstalk of parallel wirings is redu...
This paper discusses the impact of migrating from 2-D to 3-D on floorplanning and placement. By looking at a basic formulation of graph cuboidal dual problem, we show that the 3-...
In hardware design, it is necessary to simulate the anticipated behavior of the integrated circuit before it is actually cast in silicon. As simulation procedures are long due to ...
Integrated circuits with bounded lifetimes can have many business advantages. We give some simple examples of m ods to enforce tunable expiration dates for chips using nanom reliab...
