In this paper, we study the simultaneousdriver and wire sizing (SDWS) problem under two objective functions: (i) delay minimization only, or (ii) combined delay and power dissipat...
Process variation has become a major concern in the design of many nanometer circuits, including interconnect pipelines. This paper develops closed-form models to predict the dela...
Transistor tapering is a widely used technique applied to optimize the geometries of CMOS transistors in highperformance circuit design with a view to minimizing the delay of a FE...
As the scale of system integration continues to grow, the on-chip communication becomes the ultimate bottleneck of system performance and the primary determinant of system archite...
— In this work we investigate the buffer insertion problem under process variations. Sub 100-nm fabrication process causes significant variations on many design parameters. We p...
