Despite the seemingly endless upwards spiral of modern VLSI technology, many experts are predicting a hard wall for CMOS in about a decade. Given this, researchers continue to loo...
This paper presents an area pad layout method to e ciently reduce the space required for interconnection pads and pad drivers. Unlike peripheral pads, area pads use only the top m...
