As CMOS technology scales deeper into the nanometer regime, factors such as leakage power and chip temperature emerge as critically important concerns for high-performance VLSI des...
Power dissipation is quickly becoming one of the most important limiters in nanometer IC design for leakage increases exponentially as the technology scaling down. However, power ...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
Abstract--Field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) logic synthesis and technology mapping have been studied extensively over the past 15 years. However, progress within the last few ye...
Straining of silicon improves mobility of carriers resulting in speed enhancement for transistors in CMOS technology. Traditionally, silicon straining is applied in a similar ad-h...
