Compare CMOS Logic with Pass-Transistor Logic, a question was raised in our mind: "Does any rule exist that contains all good?" This paper reveals novel logic synthesis ...
As the thermal wall becomes the dominant factor limiting VLSI circuit performance, and the interconnect wires become the primary power consumer, power efficiency of onchip data th...

Optical lithography is a critical step in the semiconductor manufacturing process, and one key problem is the design of the photomask for a particular circuit pattern, given the o...
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...
