A hierarchical scheme with cells and modules is crucial for managing design complexity during a large integrated circuit design. We present a methodology for thermal aware cell-ba...
For present-day micro-electronic designs, it is becoming ever more important to accurately model substrate coupling effects. Basically, either a Finite Element Method (FEM) or a B...
Reducing power dissipation is one of the most principle subjects in VLSI design today. Scaling causes subthreshold leakage currents to become a large component of total power diss...

Designers of SoCs with non-digital components, such as analog or MEMS devices, can currently use high-level system design languages, such as SystemC, to model only the digital par...

We investigate techniques to design 45nm minimum-energy subthreshold CMOS circuits under timing constraints, considering the practical case of an 8-bit multiplier. We first show ...
