- Redundant via insertion and line end extension employed in the post-routing stage are two well known and highly recommended techniques to reduce yield loss due to via failure. Ho...
Shallow trench isolation (STI) is the mainstream CMOS isolation technology. It uses chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to remove excess of deposited oxide and attain a planar...

We propose to introduce redundant interconnects for manufacturing yield and reliability improvement. By introducing redundant interconnects, the potential for open faults is reduc...
We present computational techniques for automatically generating algebraic (polynomial equality) invariants for algebraic hybrid systems. Such systems involve ordinary differentia...
Deriving nearly 90% of its primary energy resources from oil, the State of Hawaii is more dependent on oil than any other U.S. state. The price of electricity in Hawaii is also mo...
