Abstract— Double patterning lithography (DPL) is in current production for memory products, and is widely viewed as inevitable for logic products at the 32nm node. DPL decomposes...
– As silicon technology scales, we can integrate more and more circuits on a single chip, which means more I/Os are needed in modern designs. The flip-chip technology which was ...
Starting at the 65-nm node, stress engineering to improve the performance of transistors has been a major industry focus. An intrinsic stress source--shallow trench isolation (STI)...

Deep submicron processes have allowed FPGAs to grow in complexity and speed. However, such technology scaling has caused FPGAs to become more susceptible to the effects of process...
We present a set of techniques for placement-coupled, timingdriven logic replication. Two components are at the core of the approach. First is an algorithm for optimal timingdrive...
