In this paper, we study the interdependency between leakage energy and chip temperature in real-time systems. We observe that the temperature variation on chip has a large impact ...
As technology enters the nanometer territory, the antenna effect plays an important role in determining the yield and reliability of a VLSI circuit. Diode insertion and jumper in...
— In this paper, we propose a timing model reduction algorithm for hierarchical timing analysis based on a bicliquestar replacement technique. In hierarchical timing analysis, ea...

We devise a central triangular sequence to minimize the escape routing layers in area array packaging. We use a network flow model to analyze the bottleneck of the routable pins. ...
In this paper, for the first time, a theory for evaluating dynamic noise margins of SRAM cells is developed analytically. The results allow predicting the transient error suscepti...
