Transient Signal Analysis (TSA) is a parametric device testing technique based on the analysis of dynamic (transient) current (iDDT) drawn by the core logic from the power supply ...
— Starting at the 65nm node, stress engineering to improve performance of transistors has been a major industry focus. An intrinsic stress source – shallow trench isolation –...

Abstract— We present in this paper a new interconnect-driven multilevel floorplanning, called IMF, to handle large-scale building-module designs. Unlike the traditional multilev...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
