The continual shrinkage of minimum feature size in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication incurs more and more serious distortion in the optical lithography process, generating circu...
This paper presents a hybrid evolutionary programming algorithm to solve the spread spectrum radar polyphase code design problem. The proposed algorithm uses an Evolutionary Progr...
Abstract— Hierarchical design plays an important role in microprocessor and ASIC domains where design complexity limits design productivity and tool capacity. Slack distribution,...
A primary goal of high-level modeling is to efficiently explore a broad design space, converging on an optimal or near-optimal system architecture before moving to a more detaile...

There are already a huge number of problems for silicon designers and it is likely to just get worse. Many of these problems are technical associated with shrinking geometries and...
