The capability of predicting the temperature profile is critically important for timing estimation, leakage reduction, power estimation, hotspot avoidance and reliability concerns ...
All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
