Process variations in integrated circuits have significant impact on their performance, leakage and stability. This is particularly evident in large, regular and dense structures...
Abstract—With the increasing scaling of manufacturing technology, process variation is a phenomenon that has become more prevalent. As a result, in the context of Chip Multiproce...

As transistor process technology approaches the nanometer scale, process variation significantly affects the design and optimization of high performance microprocessors. Prior stu...
Deep submicron processes have allowed FPGAs to grow in complexity and speed. However, such technology scaling has caused FPGAs to become more susceptible to the effects of process...
As CMOS feature sizes venture deep into the nanometer regime, wearout mechanisms including negative-bias temperature instability and timedependent dielectric breakdown can severely...
