To ensure the power and signal integrity of modern VLSI circuits, it is crucial to analyze huge amount of nonlinear devices together with enormous interconnect and even substrate ...
As the technology progresses, interconnect delays have become bottlenecks of chip performance. Three dimensional (3D) integrated circuits are proposed as one way to address this p...
—This paper introduces a simple method for calculating the times at which any signal crosses a prespecified threshold voltage (e.g., 10%, 20%, 50%, etc.) directly from the moment...
We present techniques for improving the accuracy of geometric-programming (GP) based analog circuit design optimization. We describe major sources of discrepancies between the res...
While process variations are becoming more significant with each new IC technology generation, they are often modeled via linear regression models so that the resulting performanc...
