This paper presents a new test response compaction technique with any number of unknown logic values (X’s) in the test response bits. The technique leverages an X-tolerant respo...
The ability to improve the yield of integrated circuits through layout modification has been recognized and several techniques for yield enhanced routing and compaction have been ...
Selective attention is a process widely used by biological sensory systems to overcome the problem of limited parallel processing capacity: salient subregions of the input stimuli...
This paper describes an application of a Constructive Genetic Algorithm (CGA) to the Gate Matrix Layout Problem (GMLP). The GMLP happens in very large scale integration (VLSI) desi...
