Abstract— To achieve small delay and low crosstalk for multiple signal nets with capacitive and inductive coupling, we propose in this paper a novel interconnect structure, stagg...
This paper presents a two-step, RC-interconnect insensitive linear time-varying (LTV) driver model for gate-level timing calculation. We show how to characterize a driver with the...
Reliability decisions taken early in system design can bring significant benefits in terms of design quality. This paper presents a 0-1 integer linear programming (ILP) formulatio...
This paper proposes a reliability-centric hardware/ software co-design framework. This framework operates with a component library that provides multiple alternates for a given ta...

Layout migration has re-emerged as an important task due to the increasing use of library hard intellectual properties. While recent advances of migration tools have accommodated ...
Hierarchical approach greatly facilitates large-scale chip design by hiding distracting details in low-level objects. However, the lowlevel designs have to have a global view of h...
Due to the rapid development of manufacturing process technology and tight marketing schedule, the chip design and manufacturing always work toward an integrated solution to achie...
Recently, a new Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) scheme has been proposed that increases energy efficiency significantly by allowing the processor to operate at or slightly below the...
