This paper analyzes the deposition defects in devices and circuits made of Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) for molecular implementation. Differently from metal-based QCA, in ...

Many digital circuits have constraints on the logic values a set of signal lines can have. In this paper, we present two new techniques for detecting the illegal combinations of l...

We propose to introduce redundant interconnects for manufacturing yield and reliability improvement. By introducing redundant interconnects, the potential for open faults is reduc...
Shrinking devices to the nanoscale, increasing integration densities, and reducing of voltage levels down to the thermal limit, all conspire to produce faulty systems. Frequent oc...

Due to shrinking feature sizes processors are becoming more vulnerable to soft errors. Write-back caches are particularly vulnerable since they hold dirty data that do not exist i...
