With shrinking noise margins and increasing numbers of on-chip noise sources, power grid design has become a critical performance determinant. This paper presents an overview of r...
— Lowering supply voltage is an effective technique for power reduction in memory design, however traditional memory cell design fails to operate, as shown in [3], [10], at ultra...

As CMOS technology scales deeper into the nanometer regime, factors such as leakage power and chip temperature emerge as critically important concerns for high-performance VLSI des...
Variation is a significant concern in nanometer-scale CMOS due to manufacturing equipment being pushed to fundamental limits, particularly in lithography. In this paper, we review...
