—Time-dependent performance degradation due to transistor aging caused by mechanisms such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) and Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) is one o...
Most existing RCL−1 circuit reductions stamp inverse inductance L−1 elements by a second-order nodal analysis (NA). The NA formulation uses nodal voltage variables and describ...
The paper presents a novel hierarchical approach to test pattern generation for sequential circuits based on an input model of mixed-level decision diagrams. A method that handles,...
We present in this paper a method for document layout analysis based on identifying the function of document elements (what they do). This approach is orthogonal and complementary...
Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
