As the CMOS technology is scaled into the dimension of nanometer, the clock frequencies and die sizes of ICs are shown to be increasing steadily [5]. Today, global wires that requ...
With continued aggressive process scaling in the subwavelength lithographic regime, resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) such as optical proximity correction (OPC) are an inte...

Implementing a built-in self-test by a "test per clock" scheme offers advantages concerning fault coverage, detection of delay faults, and test application time. Such a ...
Techniques for global register allocation via graph coloring have been extensively studied and widely implemented in compiler frameworks. This paper examines a particular variant â...

Abstract— Clock gating is a popular technique for reducing power dissipation in clock network. Although there have been numerous research efforts on clock gating, the previous ap...
