Dealing with Multi-Vt and Multi-Voltage Domain Timing/ Temperature Inversion ChallengesPublication: EE Times Embedded December 7, 2011 -- Scaling down CMOS technologies to 40nm and below is imposing new challenges for physical-design engineers relating to timing closure in their designs. In higher technology (90nm and above), process, voltage and temperature (PVT) corners with the highest temperatures used to be the worst locations for synthesis.
