— As Double Patterning Technology (DPT) becomes the only solution for 32-nm lithography process, we need to investigate how DPT affects the performance of a chip. In this paper, ...
Process variations in integrated circuits have significant impact on their performance, leakage and stability. This is particularly evident in large, regular and dense structures...
Aggressive technology scaling to 45nm and below introduces serious reliability challenges to the design of microprocessors. Large SRAM structures used for caches are particularly ...

Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
The impact of process variation in state of the art technology makes traditional (worst case) designs unnecessarily pessimistic, which translates to suboptimal designs in terms of...
