Sleep transistors are effective to reduce dynamic and leakage power. The cluster-based design was proposed to reduce the sleep transistor area by clustering gates to minimize the ...
Standard cells are fundamental circuit building blocks designed at very early design stages. Nanometer standard cells are prone to lithography proximity and process variations. Ho...

Ultra-deep submicron manufacturability impacts physical design (PD) through complex layout rules and large guardbands for process variability; this creates new requirements for ne...
3-D monolithic integration (3DMI), also termed as sequential integration, is a potential technology for future gigascale circuits. Since the device layers are processed in sequent...
As integrated circuits manufacturing technology is advancing into 65nm and 45nm nodes, extensive resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) are needed to correctly manufacture a chip...
