The ITRS (International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors) predicts aggressive scaling down of device size, transistor threshold voltage and oxide thickness to meet growing de...
As CMOS technology is scaled down toward the nanoscale regime, drastically growing leakage currents and variations in device characteristics are becoming two important design chall...
Various architectural power reduction techniques have been proposed for on-chip caches in the last decade. In this paper, we first show that these power reduction techniques can b...

- One of the critical issues in MTCMOS design is how to estimate a circuit delay quickly. In this paper, we propose a delay modeling and static timing analysis (STA) methodology ta...
With the technology moving into the deep sub-100nm region, the increase of leakage power consumption necessitates more aggressive power reduction techniques. Power gating is a prom...
