The manufacturing test cost for mixed-signal SOCs is widely recognized to be much higher than that for digital SOCs. It has been shown in recent prior work that the use of analog ...
— As nanometer technology advances, the post-CMP dielectric thickness variation control becomes crucial for manufacturing closure. To improve CMP quality, dummy feature filling ...
In deep submicron VLSI circuits, interconnect reliability due to electromigration and thermal effects is fast becoming a serious design issue particularly for long signal lines. T...
Most studies of plans and situated work have applied ethnographic methods and and thus fail to provide any quantitative insight into the extent of this phenomenon. We present a st...
Social virtual worlds (SVWs) have become increasingly important environments for social interaction, especially for the younger generations. For SVWs to be economically sustainabl...
