– This paper addresses the problem of ordering and sizing parallel wires in a single metal layer within an interconnect channel of a given width, such that crosscapacitances are ...
This paper addresses the problem of low-power fanout optimization with multiple threshold voltage inverters. Introducing splitting and merging conversions that preserve delay, pow...
Delay faults are an increasingly important test challenge. Traditional delay fault models are incomplete in that they only model a subset of delay defect behaviors. To solve this ...

Accurate gate-level static timing analysis in the presence of RC loads has become an important problem for modern deep-submicron designs. Non-capacitive loads are usually analyzed...
This paper develops the noise-counterparts to familiar delay formulas like Elmore or PRIMO. By matching the first few moments of the network’s transfer impedance, we obtain effi...
