Heat dissipation is one of the most serious challenges in 3D IC designs. One effective way of reducing circuit temperature is to introduce thermal through-the-silicon (TTS) vias....
We present a co-synthesis approach that accelerates reactive software processing by moving the calculation of complex expressions into external combinational hardware. The startin...
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
— As the feature size of transistors gets smaller, fabricating them becomes challenging. Manufacturing process follows various corrective design-for-manufacturing (DFM) steps to ...
