Density gradient minimization with coupling-constrained dummy fill for CMP control
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...

4T-decay sensors: a new class of small, fast, robust, and low-power, temperature/leakage sensors
We present a novel temperature/leakage sensor, developed for high-speed, low-power, monitoring of processors and complex VLSI chips. The innovative idea is the use of 4T SRAM cell...
