A faster approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost layer assignment
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...

Challenge: ultra-low-power energy-harvesting active networked tags (EnHANTs)
This paper presents the design challenges posed by a new class of ultra-low-power devices referred to as Energy-Harvesting Active Networked Tags (EnHANTs). EnHANTs are small, fle...

SACI: statistical static timing analysis of coupled interconnects
Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...

Silicon neurons that phase-lock
Abstract—We present a silicon neuron with a dynamic, active leak that enables precise spike-timing with respect to a time-varying input signal. Our neuron models the mammalian bu...

A novel framework for multilevel full-chip gridless routing
— Due to its great flexibility, gridless routing is desirable for nanometer circuit designs that use variable wire widths and spacings. Nevertheless, it is much more difficult ...
