In this paper, we determine the optimal shape function for a bi-directional wire under the Elmore delay model. Given a bi-directional wire of length L, let fx be the width of the ...
— In this paper, we present a new interconnect delay model called Fitted Elmore delay (FED). FED is generated by approximating Hspice delay data using a curve fitting technique....

Global interconnect temperature keeps rising in the current and future technologies due to self-heating and the adiabatic property of top metal layers. The thermal e ects impact a...
- In this paper, we study the wire sizing and wire spacing problem for post-layout performance optimization under Elmore delay model. Both ground capacitance and coupled capacitanc...
An e cient solution to the wire sizing problem WSP usingthe Elmoredelaymodelisproposed. Two formulations of the problem are put forth: in the rst, the minimum interconnect delay i...
