Transistor Count Optimization in IG FinFET Network Design.

Double-gate devices, like independent-gate (IG) FinFET, have introduced new possibilities and challenges in synthesis of transistor networks. Existing factorization methods and graph-based optimizations are not actually the most effective way to generate optimized IG FinFET based networks because only reducing the number of literals in a given Boolean expression does not guarantee the minimum tran...
