Predictive delay analysis is presented for a representative CMOS inverter with submicron device size using PREDICTMOS MOSFET model. As against SPICE, which adopts a time consuming...
-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
During pseudorandom testing, a significant amount of energy and test application time is wasted for generating and for applying “useless” test vectors that do not contribute t...

Straining of silicon improves mobility of carriers resulting in speed enhancement for transistors in CMOS technology. Traditionally, silicon straining is applied in a similar ad-h...
Abstract A divide-and-conquer algorithm for computing the parametric yield of large analog circuits is presented. The algorithm targets applications whose performance spreads could...
