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...
This paper proposes a new region extraction algorithm based on cellular automaton operation, which only utilizes the region boundary information of the image. A simple pixel circu...
This paper addresses the problem of locating the stuckopen faults in a manufactured IC with scan flip-flops. Unlike most previous methods that only aim at identifying the faulty s...
An impact of introducing multi-level signals to a bandpass delta-sigma modulator (DSM), which is of particular interest for wireless communications applications, has been investig...
The design methods and the automation of the comparator circuit layout generation for a flash A/D converter are presented in this paper. The threshold inverter quantization (TIQ)...
