1. Manufacturability in the Nanometer Era: Regularity considerations in VLSI Circuits
Abstract : Each reduction of the technology node has, along with improvements in IC fabricationtechnology, been the main driver in delivering the demand for function rich, integratedmobile electronics that are so prevalent. As devices keep growing smaller and geometriesapproach the order of a few atomic layers, it is increasingly difficult to achievecost-effective mass production for reasons related to performance and fabrication capability.

2. Static Power Reduction and Estimation in CMOS Circuits Considering Emerging Leakage Mechanisms
Abstract : Due to semiconductor technology advancements, the static power dissipation caused by leakage currents in CMOS circuits is growing at a much faster rate than dynamic power; the dominant power component. As a result, controlling and limiting static power becomes as crucial as controlling dynamic power. READ MORE

3. Clocking of high speed CMOS VLSI systems
Abstract : Two consequences of high level circuit integration may be increasing cost of design and cost of interconnections. Interconnection is expensive in terms of silicon area, speed and power. As far as timing is concerned. schemes of future VLSI systems may not be a simple extension of those used in the existing LSI circuits. READ MORE

4. Low-Power Multi-GHz Circuit Techniques for On-chip Clocking
Abstract : The impressive evolution of modern high-performance microprocessors have resulted in chips with over one billion transistors as well as multi-GHz clock frequencies. As the silicon integrated circuit industry moves further into the nanometer regime, three of the main challenges to overcome in order for continuing CMOS technology scaling are; growing standby power dissipation, increasing variations in process parameters, and increasing power dissipation due to growing clock load and circuit complexity.
