A comparison is made between various approximations of the line-to-ground capacitance problem in a VLSI environment. It is shown that with up-to-date dimensions, the simple parallel-plate model is no longer adequate. However, easy-to-use and fast-to-compute formulas exist that result in accurate and reliable capacitance values. The parasitic capacitance problem is three-dimensional by nature. T...

Of course, from childhood to forever, we are always thought to love reading. It is not only reading the lesson book but also reading everything good is the choice of getting new inspirations. Religion, sciences, politics, social, literature, and fictions will enrich you for not only one aspect. Having more aspects to know and understand will lead you become someone more precious. Yea, becoming ...

This paper reviewed the comparison between different clock distribution schemes which used for low power VLSI design which are the most important aspect in the industry. The main clock distribution schemes are single driver clock scheme and distributed buffers clock scheme. There are different tradeoffs in both the techniques such as size of buffers, number of buffers etc.

In continuum to my previous paper titled ‘Implementation of plasmonics in VLSI’, this paper attempts to explore further, the actual physical realization of an all-plasmonic chip. In this paper, various methods of plasmon-based photolithography have been discussed and an observation is made w.r.t the cost effectiveness and ease of adaptability. Also, plasmonics based active element has been disc...
