Opportunities and challenges of 2D materials in back-end-of-line interconnect scaling

Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Alejandro Strachan

As the challenges in continued scaling of the integrated circuit technology escalate every generation, there is an urgent need to find viable solutions for both the front-end-of-line (transistors) and the back-end-of-line (interconnects). For the interconn ...

Timing-Driven Placement for FPGA Architectures with Dedicated Routing Paths

Paolo Ienne, Grace Zgheib, Stefan Nikolic

The idea of introducing dedicated, fast paths between certain FPGA elements in order to reduce delay is neither new nor particularly hard to come up with. What is less obvious, however, is how to put such paths to actual use. In this work, we propose an ef ...

Computational rule-based approach for corner correction of non-Manhattan geometries in mask aligner photolithography

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Chen Yan, Raoul Kirner, Andreas Vetter

In proximity mask aligner photolithography, diffraction of light at the mask pattern is the predominant source for image shape distortions such as line end shortening and corner rounding. One established method to mitigate the impact of diffraction is opti ...

FPGA-SPICE: A Simulation-Based Architecture Evaluation Framework for FPGAs

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Edouard Giacomin

In this paper, we developed a simulation-based architecture evaluation framework for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), called FPGA-SPICE, which enables automatic layout-level estimation and electrical simulations of FPGA architectures. FPGA-SPICE can ...

A Timing-Monitoring Sequential for Forward and Backward Error-Detection in 28 nm FD-SOI

Andreas Peter Burg, Adam Shmuel Teman, Andrea Bonetti, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin

The increasing impact of variability on near-threshold nanometer circuits calls for a tighter online monitoring and control of the available timing margins. Error-detection sequentials are widely used together with error-correction techniques to operate di ...

Data-Driven Pre-Design Tool for Small Scale Centrifugal Compressors in Refrigeration

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Cyril Picard, Violette Mounier

Domestic scale heat pumps and air conditioners are mainly driven by volumetric compressors. Yet the use of reduced scale centrifugal compressors is reconsidered due to their high efficiency and power density. Recent work has demonstrated the technical feas ...
