The behaviour of asynchronous circuits is often described by Signal Transition Graphs (STGs), which are Petri nets whose transitions are interpreted as rising and falling edges of...

ABSTRACT - This paper presents a new design flow, FPDSiMPA, and a set of techniques for synthesizing high-performance sub-half micron logic circuits. FPD-SiMPA consists of logic p...
Current lithography techniques use a light wavelength of 193nm to print sub-65nm features. This introduces process variations which cause mismatches between desired and actual waf...
Today’s complex integrated circuit designs increasingly rely on post-silicon validation to eliminate bugs that escape from presilicon verification. One effective silicon debug ...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
