DeepScaleTool is a spreadsheet based tool for the accurate estimation of deep-submicron technology (130 nm to 7 nm) scaling by modeling and curve fitting published silicon trends for area, delay, and energy. The tool is also helpful to conduct fair comparison of the circuits' performance, energy, and power dissipation across different technology generations.
