In the nanometer IC design, dummy fill is often performed to improve layout pattern uniformity and the post-CMP quality. However, filling dummies might greatly increase intercon...
A large number of embedded systems include 8-bit microcontrollers for their energy efficiency and low cost. Multi-bank memory architecture is commonly applied in 8-bit microcontr...
