In the last decade, researchers have devoted increasing efforts to reduce the average power consumption in VLSI systems during normal operation mode, while power consumption durin...
As VLSI circuit speeds have increased, reliable chip and system design can no longer be performed without accurate threedimensional interconnect models. In this paper, we describe...
