Performance-driven physical design is becoming more important as advances in IC technologies enable gigahertz operating frequencies. These same IC technologies, however, exhibit d...
In this paper, we formulate a new class of optimization problem, named the general CH-posynomial program, and reveal the general dominance property. We propose an efcient algorith...
As the CMOS technology enters the deep submicron design era, the lateral inter-wire coupling capacitance becomes the dominant part of load capacitance and makes RC delay on the bu...
