Abstract— The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a robust stochastic evolutionary computation technique based on the movement and intelligence of swarms. This paper p...
Starting from the 90nm technology node, process induced stress has played a key role in the design of highperformance devices. The emergence of source/drain silicon germanium (S/D ...
Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on local character...
