The current paradigm of using Cu interconnects for on-chip global communication is rapidly becoming a serious performance bottleneck in ultra-deep submicron (UDSM) technologies. C...
In the last years, new requirements in terms of vehicle performance increased significantly the amount of on-board electronics, thus raising more concern about safety and fault to...
This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...
