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...
— Dynamic power noises may not only degrade the circuit performance but also reduce the noise margin which may result in the functional errors in integrated circuit. Decoupling c...
Process variations have become a key concern of circuit designers because of their significant, yet hard to predict impact on performance and signal integrity of VLSI circuits. St...
