Embedded cryptosystems show increased vulnerabilities to implementation attacks such as power analysis. CMOS technology trends are causing increased process variations which impac...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
The integrated circuits design flow is rapidly moving towards higher description levels. However, test-related activities are lacking behind this trend, mainly since effective faul...
In this paper, we address the interconnect-driven floorplanning problem that integrates OPC-friendly bus assignment with floorplanning. Buses consist of a number of horizontal/v...
