The extent to which the 6T SRAM bit cell can be perpetuated through continued scaling is of enormous technological and economic importance. Understanding the growing limitations i...
Abstract. Layout tools for FPGAs can typically be run in two different modes: non-timing-driven and timing-driven. Non-timing-driven mode produces a solution quickly, without consi...

Yield and variability are becoming detractors for successful design in sub-90-nm process technologies. We consider the fundamental lithography and process issues that are driving ...
Variability of circuit performance is becoming a very important issue for ultra-deep sub-micron technology. Gate length variation has the most direct impact on circuit performance...
-- In interconnect-dominated designs, the ability to minimize layout-induced parasitic effects is crucial for rapid design closure. Deep sub-micron effects and ubiquitous interfere...
