Partitioning-based approach to fast on-chip decap budgeting and minimization
TL;DR: Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves at least 10X speed-up over the fastest decap allocation method reported so far with similar or even better budget quality and a power grid circuit with about one million nodes can be optimized using the new method in half an hour on the latest Linux workstations.

Hot Carrier Circuit Reliability Simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of improvements in methods for reliability simulations in aged circuits whose operation has been degraded through hot-carrier or other effects are presented, including the use of device model cards with age parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partitioning-Based Approach to Fast On-Chip Decoupling Capacitor Budgeting and Minimization
TL;DR: Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves at least ten times speed-up over similar decap allocation methods reported so far with similar budget quality, and a power grid circuit with about one million nodes can be optimized using the new method in half an hour on the latest Linux workstations.
Patent
Hot-carrier device degradation modeling and extraction methodologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of a hot-carrier device is modeled as a fresh device with a voltage source connected to a terminal, and the concept of binning is extended to include device degradation.
