In this paper, we present ELIAD, an efficient lithography aware detailed router to optimize silicon image after optical proximity correction (OPC) in a correct-by-construction man...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Abstract-- In nanometer-scale VLSI technologies, several interconnect issues like routing congestion and interconnect delay have become the main concerns in placement. However, all...
This paper presents a variation resilient circuit design technique for maintaining parametric yield of design under inherent variation in process parameters. We propose to utilize...
This work focuses on congestion-driven placement of standard cells into rows in the fixed-die context. We summarize the stateof-the-art after two decades of research in recursive ...
