As Double Patterning Lithography(DPL) becomes the leading candidate for sub-30nm lithography process, we need a fast and lithography friendly decomposition framework. In this pape...

With scaling of CMOS technologies, sub-threshold, gate and reverse biased junction band-to-band-tunneling leakage have increased dramatically. Together they account for more than 2...
In this paper, we present simulation techniques to estimate the worst-case voltage variation using a RC model for the power distribution network. Pattern independent maximum envel...
In this paper we investigate activity-driven clock trees to reduce the dynamic power consumption of synchronous digital CMOS circuits. Sections of an activity-driven clock tree ca...
We present a software-based weighted random pattern scheme for testing delay faults in IP cores of programmable SoCs. We describe a method for determining static and transition pr...
