In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
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...
Capturing RLCK circuit responses accurately with existing model order reduction (MOR) techniques is very expensive. Direct metrics for fast analysis of RC circuits exist but there...
- A closed form expression for the propagation delay of a CMOS gate driving a distributed RLC line is introduced that is within 5% of dynamic circuit simulations for a wide range o...
How does multilevel metalization impact the design of FPGA interconnect? The availability of a growing number of metal layers presents the opportunity to use wiring in the thirddi...
