Clock skew optimization via wiresizing for timing sign-off covering all process corners
Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...

SOC Test Architecture Optimization for Signal Integrity Faults on Core-External Interconnects
The test time for core-external interconnect shorts/opens is typically much less than that for core-internal logic. Therefore, prior work on test infrastructure design for core-ba...

Computing bounds for fault tolerance using formal techniques
Continuously shrinking feature sizes result in an increasing susceptibility of circuits to transient faults, e.g. due to environmental radiation. Approaches to implement fault tol...

Density gradient minimization with coupling-constrained dummy fill for CMP control
In the nanometer IC design, dummy fill is often performed to improve layout pattern uniformity and the post-CMP quality. However, filling dummies might greatly increase intercon...
