— Decoupling capacitors (decaps) are typically used to reduce the noise in the power supply network. Because the delay of gates and interconnects is affected by the supply voltag...
With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
A physical yet compact gate delay model is developed integrating short-channel effects and the Alpha-power law based timing model. This analytical approach accurately predicts bot...
As technology continues to scale beyond 100nm, there is a significant increase in performance uncertainty of CMOS logic due to process and environmental variations. Traditional c...
