In this paper, we study the buffered clock tree synthesis problem under thermal variations for 3D IC technology. Our major contribution is the Balanced Skew Theorem, which provides...
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...
Clock skew minimization has been an important design constraint. However, due to the complexity of Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) variations, the minimization of clock sk...
This paper investigates methods for clock skew minimization using buffer and wire sizing. First, a technique that significantly improves solution quality and stability of sequent...
