Reduction of Direct Tunneling Power Dissipation during Behavioral Synthesis of Nanometer CMOS Circuits
— Direct tunneling current is the major component of static power dissipation of a CMOS circuit for technology below 65nm, where the gate dielectric (SiO2) is very low. We intuit...

Wire density driven global routing for CMP variation and timing
In this paper, we propose the first wire density driven global routing that considers CMP variation and timing. To enable CMP awareness during global routing, we propose a compac...

A Parallel Circuit-Partitioned Algorithm for Timing Driven Cell Placement
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...

Networks on Silicon: Blessing or Nightmare?
Continuing VLSI technology scaling raises several deep submicron (DSM) problems like relatively slow interconnect, power dissipation and distribution, and signal integrity. Those ...

Standard cell characterization considering lithography induced variations
As VLSI technology scales toward 65nm and beyond, both timing and power performance of integrated circuits are increasingly affected by process variations. In practice, people oft...
