Due to the roaring power dissipation and gaining popularity of 3D integration, thermal dissipation has been a critical concern of modern VLSI design. The availability for chip-lev...
— Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the key steps during nanometer VLSI manufacturing process where minimum variation of layout pattern densities is desired. This pap...
System design complexity is growing rapidly. As a result, current development costs are constantly increasing. It is becoming increasingly difficult to estimate how much time it ...
