In Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) technologies, interconnects play a crucial role in the correct functionality and largely impact the performance of complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. F...
-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
The deployment of future deep submicron technology calls for a careful review of existing cache organizations and design practices in terms of yield and performance. This paper pr...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
Partitioning and clustering are crucial steps in circuit layout for handling large scale designs enabled by the deep submicron technologies. Retiming is an important sequential lo...
