Fiberoptic circuit network design under reliability constraints

The network design problem with reliability constraints is a problem where, given a finite set of nodes, the objective is a costefficient selection of links and link capacities sufficient to satisfy the node-to-node traffic demands in normal and failed conditions. In this paper, we present a general mathematical model for this problem and a revised formulation which seems particularly appropria...

Evaluating Circuit Reliability Under Probabilistic Gate-Level Fault Models

Circuit reliability is an increasingly important design consideration for modern logic circuits. To this end, our work focuses on the evaluation of circuit reliability under probabilistic gate-level fault models that can capture both soft errors, e.g., radiation-related, and spatially-uniform manufacturing defects. This basic task can, in principle, be used (i) by synthesis procedures to select...

Reliability Evaluation for Integrated Circuit with Defective Interconnect under Electromigration

In electromigration degradation process the existing physical defects on interconnect play a critical role by significantly accelerating the EM damage under increased current density and elevated temperature. In this work the simulation models were upgraded in the IC reliability simulator ARET to incorporate the effect of interconnect physical defects in expected lifetime prediction. Then based...
