—During the past decade, the packet classification problem has been widely studied to accelerate network applications such as access control, traffic engineering and intrusion de...
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...
