Gate sizing with controlled displacement
- In this paper, we present an algorithm for gate sizing with controlled displacement to improve the overall circuit timing. We use a path-based delay model to capture the timing c...

Parametric yield in FPGAs due to within-die delay variations: a quantitative analysis
Variations in the semiconductor fabrication process results in variability in parameters between transistors on the same die, a problem exacerbated by lithographic scaling. The re...

Fast and exact simultaneous gate and wire sizing by Lagrangian relaxation
This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...

Gate Sizing and V{t} Assignment for Active-Mode Leakage Power Reduction
Leakage current is a key factor in IC power consumption even in the active operating mode. We investigate the simultaneous optimization of gate size and threshold voltage to reduc...

Probabilistic Self-Adaptation of Nanoscale CMOS Circuits: Yield Maximization under Increased Intra-Die Variations
As technology scales to 40nm and beyond, intra-die process variability will cause large delay and leakage variations across a chip in addition to expected die-to-die variations. I...
