Abstract—We propose a novel synthesis technique for reversible logic based on ant colony optimization (ACO). In our ACO-based approach, reversible logic synthesis is formulated a...
Existing high-level BIST synthesis methods focus on one objective, minimizing either area overhead or test time. Hence, those methods do not render exploration of large design spa...
As we move towards nanometer technology, manufacturing problems become overwhelmingly difficult to solve. Presently, optimization for manufacturability is performed at a post-synt...

— In order to achieve timing closure on increasingly complex IC designs, buffer insertion needs to be performed on thousands of nets within an integrated physical synthesis syste...

This paper presents a logic synthesis tool called BETSY (BIST Environment Testable Synthesis) for synthesizing circuits that achieve complete (100%)fault coverage in a user specif...
