Popis: Power consumed by interconnect repeaters is a serious concern for future ICs. Ways to tackle this issue such as unique optimization of repeater and logic transistor technologies, improved repeater insertion methods and 3D integration are discussed. These techniques reduce total power of a 22 nm 1.4 GHz low power combinational logic block by 55% with negligible performance and area overheads
