In this paper, we present a very fast and accurate rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT)1 algorithm called FLUTE. The algorithm is an extension of the wirelength estimation appr...
In this paper, we propose fast and efficient techniques to analyze the power grid with accurate modeling of the transistor network. The solution techniques currently available for...

Current CMOS technologies are characterized by interconnect lines with increased relative resistance w.r.t. driver output resistance. Designs generate signal waveshapes that are v...
As silicon technologies move into the nanometer regime, transistor reliability is expected to wane as devices become subject to extreme process variation, particle-induced transie...
