Decreasing feature sizes and increasing package densities are making thermal issues extremely important in IC design. Uneven thermal maps and hot spots in ICs cause physical stres...
A methodology is proposed to efficiently estimate the substrate noise generated by large scale aggressor circuits. Small spatial voltage differences within the ground distribution...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their unique electronic properties, are promising materials for building nanoscale circuits. In this paper, we present a new CNT-based FPGA architect...
With scaling down to deep submicron and nanometer technologies, noise immunity is becoming a metric of the same importance as power, speed, and area. Smaller feature sizes, low vo...
