SRAM design has been a major challenge for nanoscale manufacturing technology. We propose a new bit cell repair scheme for designing maximum-information memory system (MIMS). Unli...
ÑIn this paper, we present a comparative study on the effects of resistive-bridging defects in the SRAM core-cells, considering different technology nodes. In particular, we analy...

ACT Benchmarks are an immensely useful tool in performing research since they allow for rapid and clear comparison between different approaches to solving CAD problems. Recent expe...
One of the most challenging issues in today's high-performance VLSI design is to ensure high-quality power supply to each individual circuit blocks. Reduced power supply volt...
This paper introduces the concept of polymorphic electronics (polytronics) –referring to electronics with superimposed built-in functionality. A function change does not require ...

As semiconductor manufacturing technology advances, power dissipation and noise in scan testing has become a critical problem. In our studies on practical LSI manufacturing, we ha...
—Test application at reduced power supply voltage (low-voltage testing) or reduced temperature (low-temperature testing) can improve the defect coverage of a test set, particular...

— Violations in the timing constraints of a clocked register can cause a synchronous system to malfunction. The effects of variations in the power supply voltage (VDD) on the tim...
Polymorphic electronics provides a new way for obtaining circuits that are able to perform two or more functions depending on the environment in which they operate. These function...
Circuit activity is a function of input patterns. When circuit activity changes abruptly, it can cause sudden drop or rise in power supply voltage. This change is known as power d...
