Integrating a large number of on-chip voltage regulators holds the promise of solving many power delivery challenges through strong local load regulation and facilitates systemlev...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Increasing power densities in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have made them susceptible to thermal problems. The advent of platform FPGAs has further exacerbated the probl...

When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
Twisted differential line structure can effectively reduce crosstalk noise on global bus, which foresees a wide applicability. However, measured performance based on fabricated ci...
