Recovering and reusing circuit energies that would otherwise be dissipated as heat can reduce the power dissipated by a VLSI chip. To accomplish this requires a power source that ...
In two operand addition, bit-wise intermediate variables such as the "propagate" and "generate" terms are defined/evaluated first. Basic carry propagation recu...
A Pin-Grid-Array (PGA) package router is presented in this paper. Given a chip cavity with a number of I/O pads around its boundary and an equivalent number of pins distributed on...
Certain manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI involve chemical-mechanical polishing CMP which has varying e ects on device and interconnect features, depending on loca...
