Reliability of logic circuits is emerging as an important concern that may limit the benefits of continued scaling of process technology and the emergence of future technology al...
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...

Circuits using nano-meter technologies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to signal interference from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft errors. One way to...
A hierarchical scheme with cells and modules is crucial for managing design complexity during a large integrated circuit design. We present a methodology for thermal aware cell-ba...
