The nonuniform substrate thermal profile and process variations are two major concerns in the present-day ultradeep submicrometer designs. To correctly predict performance/ leakage...
Abstract— As the semiconductor technology continues its marching toward the deep sub-micron domain, the strong relation between leakage current and temperature becomes critical i...
Lateral heat conduction between modules affects the temperature profile of a floorplan, affecting the leakage power of individual blocks which increasingly is becoming a larger ...
As CMOS technology scales into the nanometer regime, power dissipation and associated thermal concerns in high-performance ICs due to on-chip hot-spots and thermal gradients are b...
