Abstract-- Due to photo-lithography effects and manufacture process variations, the actual features fabricated on the wafer are different from the designed ones. This difference ca...
Power gating has been widely used to reduce subthreshold leakage. However, its efficiency degrades very fast with technology scaling due to the gate leakage of circuits specific t...
