Manufacturing disturbances are inevitable in the fabrication of integrated circuits. These disturbances will result in variations in the delay specications of manufactured circui...
Abstract— A broad class of problems in circuits, electromagnetics, and optics can be expressed as finding some parameters of a linear system with a specific type. This paper is...

This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the clock period of a circuit by optimizingthe clock skews. We incorporate uncertainty factors and present a formulation that ensure...
We present a novel technique CLIP for optimizing both the height and width of CMOS cell layouts in the two-dimensional (2D) style. CLIP is based on integer-linear programming (ILP...
—Using EXOR gates in logic synthesis often results in smaller circuit realizations. While in AND/OR synthesis the problem definition is clear, in AND/EXOR synthesis several clas...
