We present a novel technique CLIP for optimizing both the height and width of CMOS cell layouts in the two-dimensional (2D) style. CLIP is based on integer-linear programming (ILP...
Process variations in modern VLSI technologies are growing in both magnitude and dimensionality. To assess performance variability, complex simulation and performance models param...
-- Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs) have demonstrated extraordinary properties and are widely accepted as the building blocks of next g...
Abstract--In this paper, we present a new approach to calculate the steady state resistance values for CMOS library gates. These resistances are defined as simple equivalent models...
Extracting the inductance of complex interconnect topologies is a formidable task, and simulating the resulting dense partial inductance matrix is even more difficult. Furthermore...
