Abstract--In nanometer-scale VLSI physical design, clock network becomes a major concern on determining the total performance of digital circuit. Clock skew and PVT (Process, Volta...
Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...
Although a lot of research efforts have been made in the minimization of the total power consumption caused by the clock tree, no attention has been paid to the minimization of th...
Clock network construction is one key problem in high performance VLSI design. Reducing the clock skew variation is one of the most important objectives during clock network synthe...
