An accurate model for pre-placement wire length estimation can be a useful tool during the physical design of integrated circuits. In this paper, an a priori wire length estimatio...
Reducing power dissipation is one of the most principle subjects in VLSI design today. Scaling causes subthreshold leakage currents to become a large component of total power diss...

Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
Competitive learning is a technique for training classification and clustering networks. We have designed and fabricated an 11transistor primitive, that we term an automaximizing ...
When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
