Abstract— Continuing scaling of CMOS technology has allowed aggressive pursuant of increased clock rate in DSM chips. The ever shorter clock period has made switching times of di...
— In this paper, we approach the gate sizing problem in VLSI circuits in the context of increasing variability of process and circuit parameters as technology scales into the nan...
FinFET devices promise to replace traditional MOSFETs because of superior ability in controlling leakage and minimizing short channel effects while delivering a strong drive curre...
With an ever-increasing portion of the delay in highspeed CMOS chips attributable to the interconnect, interconnect-circuit design automation continues to grow in importance. By t...
A statistical model for the purpose of logic cell timing analysis in the presence of process variations is presented. A new current-based cell delay model is utilized, which can a...
