—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
The multilevel placement package mPL6 combines improved implementations of the global placer mPL5 (ISPD05) and the XDP legalizer and detailed placer (ASPDAC06). It consistently pr...

As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
We propose a novel approach to bus energy minimization that targets crosstalk effects. Unlike previous approaches, we try to reduce energy through capacitance optimization, by ad ...
We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
