All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
—Multi-Vdd techniques enable application of lower supply voltage levels on cells with timing slacks. New voltage assignment, placement and voltage island partitioning methods are...
This paper presents a new timing driven force directed placement algorithm that meets physical net length constraints as well as constraints on specific pin sets. It is the first ...
