This paper presents a new method to compute the probability distribution of the delay of a combinational circuit and uses it obtain an estimate of the yield of the process that ma...
Variabilities in metal interconnect structures can affect circuit timing performance or even cause function failure in VLSI designs. This paper proposes a method to estimate the ...
SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are very susceptible to Single Event Upsets (SEUs) that may have dramatic effects on the circuits they implement. In this paper w...
