It is widely recognized that device and interconnect fabrics at the nanoscale will be characterized by an increased susceptibility to transient faults. This appears to be intrinsi...
Abstract--This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the u...
Aggressive process scaling and increasing clock rates have made crosstalk noise an important issue in VLSI design. Switching on adjacent wires on long bus lines can increase delay...
Abstract—Modeling parasitic parameters of Through-SiliconVia (TSV) structures is essential in exploring electrical characteristics such as delay and signal integrity (SI) of circ...

In this paper, we present a simple analytical equation for capturing phase errors in 3-stage ring oscillators. The model, based on a simple but useful idealization of the ring osc...
