Abstract—To accommodate the growing number of applications integrated on a single chip, Networks on Chip (NoC) must offer scalability not only on the architectural, but also on t...
—Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a significant reliability concern for nanoscale CMOS circuits. Its effects on circuit timing can be especially pronounced for ci...
Abstract—In this paper we propose a novel statistical framework to model the impact of process variations on semiconductor circuits through the use of process sensitive test stru...
Soft errors in combinational and sequential elements of digital circuits are an increasing concern as a result of technology scaling. Several techniques for gate and latch hardeni...
—Today, many chips are designed with predefined discrete cell libraries. In this paper we present a new fast gate sizing algorithm that works natively with discrete cell choices...
