The sensitivity of very deep submicron designs to supply voltage noise is increasing due to higher path delay variations and reduced noise margins with supply noise scaling. The s...
Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) have recently become widely accepted as a space-efficient method of representing relations in points-to analyses. When BDDs are used to represent re...
A powerful combinational path sensitization engine is required for the efficient implementation of tools for test pattern generation, timing analysis, and delay fault testing. Path...
In this paper we present a new reseeding technique for test-per-clock test pattern generation suitable for at-speed testing of circuits with random-pattern resistant faults. Our te...
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...
