— In this paper, we approach the gate sizing problem in VLSI circuits in the context of increasing variability of process and circuit parameters as technology scales into the nan...
CMOS Phase-locked loops (PLL) are ubiquitous in RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits. PLLs are very sensitive to noise fluctuations on the power and ground rails. In this paper...
As technology enters the nanometer territory, the antenna effect plays an important role in determining the yield and reliability of a VLSI circuit. Diode insertion and jumper in...
We present the first efficient approach to global routing that takes spacing-dependent costs into account and provably finds a near-optimum solution including these costs. We sh...
Under modern VLSI technology, process variations greatly affect circuit performance, especially clock skew which is very timing sensitive. Unwanted skew due to process variation f...
