Concerned by the wall that Moore’s Law is expected to hit in the next decade, the integrated circuit community is turning to emerging nanotechnologies for continued device impro...
We describe a new extraction tool, EMX (Electro-Magnetic eXtractor), for the analysis of RF, analog and high-speed digital circuits. EMX is a fast full-wave field solver. It incor...
—Hardware Intellectual Property (IP) cores have emerged as an integral part of modern System–on–Chip (SoC) designs. However, IP vendors are facing major challenges to protect...
—Decoupling capacitors (decaps) are a popular means for reducing power-supply noise in integrated circuits. Since the decaps are usually inserted in the whitespace of the device ...
Advancements in technology enable integration of a large number of cores on a single silicon die. At the same time, aggressive technology scaling has an ever-increasing adverse im...
