A design platform for 90-nm leakage reduction techniques

Methodology, EDA Flow, scripts, and documentation plays a tremendous role in the deployment and standardization of advanced design techniques. In this paper we focus not only on leakage reduction techniques but also on their deployment as a worldwide infrastructure as the added-value resides not only in the techniques themselves but also in the way they are implemented to build an efficient, re-usable, robust, low cost and portable platform. Techniques have been silicon proven on the 90-nm TI CMOS technology and is commonly used to design SoC with complexities over 100 Million transistors.
