—Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), which reduces the lifetime of PMOS transistors, is becoming a growing reliability concern for sub-micrometer CMOS technologies. Par...
As transistor process technology approaches the nanometer scale, process variation significantly affects the design and optimization of high performance microprocessors. Prior stu...
Abstract--Advances in very large-scale integration technology make clock skew more susceptible to process variations. Notwithstanding efficient exact zero-skew algorithms, clock sk...
Process variations will greatly impact the stability, leakage power consumption, and performance of future microprocessors. These variations are especially detrimental to 6T SRAM ...
