Boolean satisfiability (SAT) and its extensions are becoming a core technology for the analysis of systems. The SAT-based approach divides into three steps: encoding, preprocessin...
The interconnection delay of pre-fabricated design style dominates circuit delay due to the heavily downstream capacitance. Buffer insertion is a widely used technique to split o...
Due to the rapidly growing speed and the decreasing size of gates in modern chips, the probability of faults caused by the production process grows. Already small variations lead ...
Variations in the semiconductor fabrication process results in variability in parameters between transistors on the same die, a problem exacerbated by lithographic scaling. The re...
In this paper, we propose a timing-reasoning algorithm to improve the resolution of delay fault diagnosis. In contrast to previous approaches which identify candidates by utilizin...
