In nanometer regime, IC designs have to consider the impact of process variations, which is often indicated by manufacturing/parametric yield. This paper investigates a yield model...
In modern VLSI designs, the increasingly severe power problem requests to minimize clock routing wirelength so that both power consumption and power supply noise can be alleviated...

- It is important to model the substrate coupling for mixed-signal circuit designs today. This paper presents the direct boundary element method (BEM) for substrate resistance calc...
We evaluate the leakage reduction for both instruction and data cache in presence of drowsy or decay techniques. We discovered that a filter cache, traditionally used for reducing...
A 0.4-V UWB digital baseband processor has been fabricated in a standard-VT 90-nm CMOS technology. The baseband processor operates at an ultra-low supply voltage to reduce energy ...
