Soft errors in combinational and sequential elements of digital circuits are an increasing concern as a result of technology scaling. Several techniques for gate and latch hardeni...
This work presents a new and computationally efficient performance optimization technique for distributed RLC interconnects based on a rigorous delay computation scheme. The new o...
— Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) in PMOS transistors has become a significant reliability concern in present day digital circuit design. With continued scaling, th...
