... Inductance Electrical connections The feature size of integrated circuits has been aggressively reduced in the pursuit of improved speed, power, silicon area and cost characteristics (Rabaey, 1996). Semiconductor technologies with feature sizes of several tens of nanometers are currently...

... Electrical connections Structural design Logic devices Due to the growing market of portable devices (such as personal digital assistants, cellular phones, etc.), low power dissipation has become a very important issue in integrated circuit design. Among the many design techniques, the adiabatic...
