Process variations have become a key concern of circuit designers because of their significant, yet hard to predict impact on performance and signal integrity of VLSI circuits. St...
As process technology continues to shrink, interconnect current densities continue to increase, making it ever more difficult to meet chip reliability targets. For microprocessors...
We perform a detailed study of various crosstalk scenarios in VDSM technologies by using a distributed model of the crosstalk site and make a number of key observations about the ...
—With the scaling of complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) technology into the nanometer regime, the overshooting effect due to the input-to-output coupling capacit...
The scaling of CMOS technology into the nanometer era enables the fabrication of highly integrated systems, which increasingly contain analog and/or RF parts. However, scaling into...
