As technology advances, 3D ICs are introduced for alleviating the interconnect problem coming with shrinking feature size and increasing integration density. In 3D ICs, one of the...
At every stage in physical design, engineers are faced with many different objectives and tools to develop, optimize, and evaluate their design. Each choice of a tool or an objec...
Metal-only ECO realizes the last-minute design changes by revising the photomasks of metal layers only. This task is challenging because the pre-injected spare cells are limited b...
High power consumption will shorten battery life for handheld devices and cause thermal and reliability problems. One way to lower the dynamic power consumption is to reduce the s...
