Undetectable shorts may decrease the long term reliability of a circuit, cause intermittent failures, add noise and delay, or increase test pattern generation costs. This paper de...
We propose a layout-driven test-architecture design and optimization technique for core-based system-on-chips (SoCs) that are fabricated using three-dimensional (3D) integration. ...

I/O placement has always been a concern in modern IC design. Due to flip-chip technology, I/O can be placed throughout the whole chip without long wires from the periphery of the...

Separate optimizations of logic and layout have been thoroughly studied in the past and are well documented for common benchmarks. However, to be competitive, modern circuit optim...
-- Physical synthesis is a relatively young field in Electronic Design Automation. Many published optimizations for physical synthesis end up hurting the final result, often by neg...
