Recent successes in the development and self-assembly of nanoelectronic devices suggest that the ability to manufacture dense nanofabrics is on the near horizon. However, the trem...

Test is often seen as a necessary evil; it is a fact of life that ICs have manufacturing defects and those need to be filtered out by testing before the ICs are shipped to the cu...

We present an error catch and analysis (ECA) system for semiconductor memories. The system consists of a test algorithm generator called TAGS, a fault simulator called RAMSES, and...
Clock tree synthesis is one of the most important and challenging problems in 3D ICs. The clock signals have to be delivered by through-silicon vias (TSVs) to different tiers with...
