The general-purpose precise interrupt mechanism, which has long been used to handle exceptional conditions that occur infrequently, is now being used increasingly often to handle ...
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...

Ultra-deep submicron manufacturability impacts physical design (PD) through complex layout rules and large guardbands for process variability; this creates new requirements for ne...
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 ...
Modern computer systems have been built around the assumption that persistent storage is accessed via a slow, block-based interface. However, new byte-addressable, persistent memo...
