This paper presents a new compaction algorithm to improve the yield of IC layout. The yield is improved by reducing the area where the faults are more likely to happen known as cr...
—High-frequency circuits are notoriously difficult to lay out because of the tight coupling between device-level placement and wiring. Given that successful electrical performan...
- By putting different chips on the same mask, shuttle mask (or multiple project wafer) provides an economical solution for low volume designs and design prototypes to share the ri...

In this paper we present a repeater block planning algorithm for interconnect-centric floorplanning. We introduce the concept of independent feasible regions for repeaters and der...
In this paper, the problem of bus-driven floorplanning is addressed. Given a set of blocks and the bus specification (the width of each bus and the blocks that the bus need to g...
