With the advent of deep-submicron technologies, it has become essential to model the impact of physical/layout effects up front in all design flows [1]. The effect of layout paras...
Modern integrated circuits require careful attention to the soft-error rate (SER) resulting from bit upsets, which are normally caused by alpha particle or neutron hits. These eve...
