In modern SoCs, embedded memories occupy the largest part of the chip area and include an even larger amount of active devices. As memories are designed very tightly to the limits...

Redundancy-addition-and-removal is a rewiring technique which for a given target wire wt finds a redundant alternative wire wa. Addition of wa makes wt redundant and hence removab...
The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
We present an efficient algorithm for identification of two-line bridges in combinational CMOS logic that narrows down the two-line bridge candidates based on tester responses for...

VLSI timing analysis and power estimation target the same circuit switching activity. Power estimation techniques are categorized as (1) static, (2) statistical, and (3) simulatio...
