Abstract. Model-based development is supposed to improve the development efficiency by raising the abstraction level and generating applications instead of manually coding the appl...
— As the feature size of transistors gets smaller, fabricating them becomes challenging. Manufacturing process follows various corrective design-for-manufacturing (DFM) steps to ...
— As semiconductor processing techniques continue to scale down, transient faults, also known as soft errors, are increasingly becoming a reliability threat to high-performance m...
Clock distribution is one of the key limiting factors in any high speed, sub-100nm VLSI design. Unwanted clock skews, caused by variation effects like manufacturing variations, po...
Hardware manufacturers are increasingly outsourcing their IC fabrication work overseas due to much lower costs. This poses a significant security risk for ICs used for critical m...
