The sustained miniaturization of VLSI feature size presents great challenges to sub-wavelength photolithography and requests usage of many Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET)....
Higher operating frequencies have increased the importance of inductance in power and ground networks. The effective inductance of the power and ground network can be reduced with...
A novel approach for reducing power consumption in checkers used for concurrent error detection is presented. Spatial correlations between the outputs of the circuit that drives t...
This paper presents a self-compensation scheme of manufacturing variability for clock skew reduction. In the proposed scheme, a CDN with embedded variability sensors tunes variabl...
— Typically, placement algorithms attempt to minimize the total net length of a printed circuit board (PCB). However, an MCM’s increased throughput and dense circuitry can easi...
