Instead of being held in Waikiki, Hawaii, this year's IEEE joint symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits will take place in cyberspace. Although the pandemic has put many aspects of our lives on hold, ...

“The CAFC agreed with VLSI’s construction, noting that the claims’ use of the phrase ‘being used for’ implies a requirement to use the metal interconnect layers to carry electricity.” In a ...

A new technical paper titled “CROP: Circuit Retrieval and Optimization with Parameter Guidance using LLMs” was published by researchers at Duke University and Synopsys. “Modern very large-scale ...

Gate sizing is a fundamental technique in VLSI design, where the dimensions of transistors and gates are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal performance, minimise power consumption and reduce delay.
