OptMA/ART

When I was at Federal University of Minas Gerais, I created and managed the research group ASIC-ReliabiliTy (OptMAlab/ART), which was an extension of the OptMAlab, which is part of the Graduate Program on Electrical Engineering (PPGEE) and the departments of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, (UFMG). Our research is dedicated to reliability in micro- and nanoelectronics applications.

The creation of OptMAlab/ART was driven by the increasing demand for approaches to improve both yield and lifetime reliability of today’s and future’s complex integrated systems. Thereby, our group is working on solutions under consideration of all abstraction layers of integrated circuit design.

We worked on several exciting topics, including:

  • Asynchronous Chain – True Single Phase Clock (AC-TSPC) – Low power and robust locally asynchronous, globally synchronous circuit technology (detailed information)
  • Alternating Module Activation (AMA) – Design technique for reliable integrated designs without power penalty (detailed information)
  • Mixed Gates – Low leakage circuit technology without performance penalty (detailed information)
  • Shadow Transistors – Circuit technology for robust and reliable integrated designs (detailed information)

Furthermore, me and my team have been involved in the design and test of several integrated circuits. A selection can be found here: Designed and tested Integrated Circuits

Over the years, we had a great team. You can find below a list of all former members:
