The threshold voltage (Vth) of a nanoscale transistor is severely affected by random dopant fluctuations and line-edge roughness. The analysis of these effects usually requires at...
In this paper we present a new global router appropriate for Multichip Module MCM and dense Printed Circuit Board PCB design, which utilizes a hybrid of the classical rip-up and r...
Parametric representations used for symbolic simulation of circuits usually use BDDs. After a few steps of symbolic simulation, state set representation is converted from one para...
While performance specifications are verified before sign-off for a modern nanometer scale design, extensive application of optical proximity correction substantially alters the l...
