The sustained miniaturization of VLSI feature size presents great challenges to sub-wavelength photolithography and requests usage of many Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET)....
Certain manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI involve chemical-mechanical polishing CMP which has varying e ects on device and interconnect features, depending on loca...

DPLAYOUT is a layout synthesis tool for bit-sliced datapath designs targeting standard-cell libraries. We developed fast and efficient heuristics for placing the cells in a bit-s...
-- In interconnect-dominated designs, the ability to minimize layout-induced parasitic effects is crucial for rapid design closure. Deep sub-micron effects and ubiquitous interfere...
