At every stage in physical design, engineers are faced with many different objectives and tools to develop, optimize, and evaluate their design. Each choice of a tool or an objec...
Microfluidics-based biochips, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip (LoC), are devices that integrate fluid-handling functions such as sample preparation, analysis, separation, and de...
Metal-only ECO realizes the last-minute design changes by revising the photomasks of metal layers only. This task is challenging because the pre-injected spare cells are limited b...
DNA self-assembly is an emerging technology with potential as a future replacement of conventional lithographic fabrication. A key challenge is the specification of appropriate DN...
This paper presents a new method for designing test wrappers for embedded cores with multiple clock domains. By exploiting the use of multiple shift frequencies, the proposed meth...
