Abstract— Double patterning lithography (DPL) is in current production for memory products, and is widely viewed as inevitable for logic products at the 32nm node. DPL decomposes...
Parameter variation in integrated circuits causes sections of a chip to be slower than others. To prevent any resulting timing errors, designers have traditionally designed for th...

In a later stage of a VLSI design, it is quite often to modify a design implementation to accommodate the new specification, design errors, or to meet design constraints. In addit...
Abstract — Nanoelectronic design faces unprecedented reliability challenges and must achieve noise immunity and delay insensitiveness in the presence of prevalent defects and sig...
