Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
The many levels of metal used in aggressive deep submicron process technologies has made fast and accurate capacitance extraction of complicated 3-D geometries of conductors essen...
Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep-submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on the local ...
Crosstalk noise in the clock network of digital circuits is often detected late in the design cycle, sometimes as late as after first silicon. It is therefore necessary to fix cros...
