With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
Dynamic power is the main source of power consumption in CMOS circuits. It depends on the square of the supply voltage. It may significantly be reduced by scaling down the supply ...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for VLSI interconnect global routing that can optimize both congestion and delay, which are often competing objectives. Our approach provi...
Considering the voltage drop constraint over a distributed model for power/ground (P/G) network, we study the following two problems for physical synthesis of sleep transistors: t...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
