In Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) technologies, interconnects play a crucial role in the correct functionality and largely impact the performance of complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. F...
For many years, CMOS process scaling has allowed a steady increase in the operating frequency and integration density of integrated circuits. Only recently, however, have we reach...
Non-uniform temperature profiles along global interconnect lines in high-performance ICs can significantly impact the performance of these lines. This paper presents a detailed an...
