Abstract--In nanometer-scale VLSI physical design, clock network becomes a major concern on determining the total performance of digital circuit. Clock skew and PVT (Process, Volta...
For hardware security applications, the availability of secret keys is a critical component for secure activation, IC authentication and for other important applications including...
—Mounting concerns over variability, defects and noise motivate a new approach for digital circuitry: stochastic logic, that is to say, logic that operates on probabilistic signa...

As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
Aggressive scaling increases the number of devices we can integrate per square millimeter but makes it increasingly difficult to guarantee that each device fabricated has the inte...
