Identifying repeating structural regularities in circuits allows the minimization of synthesis, optimization, and layout e orts. We introduce in this paper a novel method for ident...
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...

Abstract— Thermal issues are a primary concern in the threedimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) design. Temperature, area, and wire length must be simultaneously optimized du...

The present paper proposes a new method for detecting arbitrary faults in a functional circuit when the set of codewords is limited and known in advance. The method is based on im...
Nanometer circuits are highly susceptible to soft errors generated by alpha-particle or atmospheric neutron strikes to circuit nodes. The reasons for the high susceptibility are t...
