— As nanometer technology advances, the post-CMP dielectric thickness variation control becomes crucial for manufacturing closure. To improve CMP quality, dummy feature filling ...
— As technology scales, the delay uncertainty caused by process variations has become increasingly pronounced in deep submicron designs. As a result, a paradigm shift from determ...

This paper proposes an optimum methodology for assigning supply and threshold voltages to modules in a CMOS circuit such that the overall energy consumption is minimized for a giv...
The application of general clock skew scheduling is practically limited due to the difficulties in implementing a wide spectrum of dedicated clock delays in a reliable manner. Th...
