A simulation-based feasibility study of an intra-chip wireless interconnect system is presented. The wireless interconnect system is modelled in a 250 nm standard complementary met...
— This paper proposes a two-dimensional scan shift control concept for multiple scan chain design. Multiple scan chain test scheme provides very low scan power by skipping many l...
We analyze the neutron induced soft error rate (SER) by modeling induced error pulse using two parameters, occurrence frequency and probability density function for the pulse widt...
- In this paper, we propose a thermal-aware job allocation and scheduling algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) chip multiprocessor (CMP). The proposed algorithm assigns hot jobs to...
Abstract—Silicon debug poses a unique challenge to the engineer because of the limited access to internal signals of the chip. Embedded hardware such as trace buffers helps overc...

With the CMOS transistors being scaled to sub 45nm and lower, Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) has become a major concern due to its impact on PMOS transistor aging pr...
—Double patterning lithography (DPL) provides an attractive alternative or a supplementary method to enable the 32nm and 22nm process nodes, relative to costlier technology optio...

— Algorithms and tools used for IC implementation do not show deterministic and predictable behaviors with input parameter changes. Due to suboptimality and inaccuracy of underly...
— Timing exceptions in IC implementation processes, especially timing verification, help reduce pessimism that arises from unnecessary timing constraints by masking non-function...
