We define the Tight Semantics (TS), a new semantics for all NLPs complying with the requirements of: 2-valued semantics; preserving the models of SM; guarantee of model existence...
Memories play a key role in FGPAs in the forms of both programming bits and embedded memory blocks. FPGAs using non-volatile memories have been the focus of attention with zero bo...
— Timing exceptions in IC implementation processes, especially timing verification, help reduce pessimism that arises from unnecessary timing constraints by masking non-function...
In the nanometer IC design, dummy fill is often performed to improve layout pattern uniformity and the post-CMP quality. However, filling dummies might greatly increase intercon...
