Abstract—With delays due to the physical interconnect dominating the overall logic path delays, circuit-level delay optimization must take interconnect effects into account. Inst...

—Interconnect inductance introduces a shielding effect which decreases the effective capacitance seen by the driver of a circuit, reducing the gate delay. A model of the effectiv...
One of the main challenges for design in the presence of process variations is to cope with the uncertainties in delay and leakage power. In this paper, the influence of leakage r...
As technology continues to scale beyond 100nm, there is a significant increase in performance uncertainty of CMOS logic due to process and environmental variations. Traditional c...
