Routability optimization has become a major concern in the physical design cycle of VLSI circuits. Due to the recent advances in VLSI technology, interconnect has become a dominan...
In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
Previous works on buffer planning are mainly based on fixed die placement. It is necessary to reduce the complexity of computing the feasible buffer insertion sites to integrate t...
