Embedded cryptosystems show increased vulnerabilities to implementation attacks such as power analysis. CMOS technology trends are causing increased process variations which impac...
In this paper, we present ELIAD, an efficient lithography aware detailed router to optimize silicon image after optical proximity correction (OPC) in a correct-by-construction man...
Continuous scaling of VLSI circuits is reducing gate delays but rapidly increasing interconnect delays. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) roadmap predicts that, beyond the ...
