For present-day micro-electronic designs, it is becoming ever more important to accurately model substrate coupling effects. Basically, either a Finite Element Method (FEM) or a B...
We present in this paper a multilevel floorplanning/placement framework based on the B*-tree representation, called MB*-tree, to handle the floorplanning and packing for large-sca...
We present novel and efficient methods for on-line testing in FPGAs. The testing approach uses a ROving TEster (ROTE), which has provable diagnosabilities and is also faster than ...
As a prevalent constraint, sharp slew rate is often required in circuit design which causes a huge demand for buffering resources. This problem requires ultra-fast buffering techn...

— As silicon CMOS devices are scaled down into the nanoscale regime, new challenges at both the device and system level are arising. While some of these challenges will be overco...
