The continued scaling of device dimensions and the operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can p...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a major improvement in the search procedures in constraint programming. First, we integrate various search procedures from AI and OR. Second, we...
In order to optimize interconnect to avoid signal integrity problems, very fast and accurate 3-D capacitance extraction is essential. Fast algorithms, such as the multipole or prec...
