Crosstalk repair by gate sizing often increases the noise on adjacent wires, and results in cyclical iterations of noise repair. We propose a Delayed Actively Body-bias Controlled (D-ABC) SOI scheme for crosstalk noise repair by providing delayed forward bias to drivers. The delay between gate and body suppresses the crosstalk noise on adjacent wires. The proposed D-ABC SOI scheme has reduced the crosstalk noise by 48.5%, with 4.3% increase in the crosstalk noise on adjacent wires.
