ADOPT: An Approach to Activity Based Delay Optimization
: The direct result of shrinking devices is not only higher densities but also increased switching activity and thus higher device temperatures. The variation in temperature over t...

Analysis and optimization of NBTI induced clock skew in gated clock trees
NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant PMOS device failure mechanism for sub100nm VLSI designs. There is little research to quantify its impact o...

Post-layout logic optimization of domino circuits
Logic duplication, a commonly used synthesis technique to remove trapped inverters in reconvergent paths of Domino circuits, incurs high area and power penalties. In this paper, w...
