— Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a leading reliability concern for integrated circuits (ICs). It gradually increases the threshold voltages of PMOS transistors, ...
As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...
? This paper gives an overview of the place of reverse engineering (RE) in the semiconductor industry, and the techniques used to obtain information from semiconductor products. Th...
