In this paper, we propose the first wire density driven global routing that considers CMP variation and timing. To enable CMP awareness during global routing, we propose a compac...
The electrostatic discharge (ESD) problem has become a challenging reliability issue in nanometer circuit design. High voltages resulted from ESD might cause high current densitie...
Soft-core programmable processors on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can be custom synthesized to instantiate only those hardware units, such as multipliers and floating-po...

It has been shown that the delay of a target path can be composed linearly of other path delays. If the later paths are robustly testable (with known delay values), the target pat...
This work describes a new mapping technique, RAM-MAP, that identifies parts of circuits that can be efficiently mapped into the synchronous embedded memories found on field prog...
