Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...
NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant failure mechanism for PMOS in nanometer IC designs. However, its impact on one of the most important compo...
In this paper, we propose a new clock tree synthesis method for semi-synchronous circuits. A clock tree obtained by the proposed method is a multi-level multi-way clock tree such ...
NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant PMOS device failure mechanism for sub100nm VLSI designs. There is little research to quantify its impact o...
We introduce the associative skew clock routing problem, which seeks a clock routing tree such that zero skew is preserved only within identified groups of sinks. The associative ...
