In this paper, we present a very fast and accurate rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT)1 algorithm called FLUTE. The algorithm is an extension of the wirelength estimation appr...
With several commercial tools becoming available, the high-level synthesis of applicationspeci c integrated circuits is nding wide spread acceptance in VLSI industry today. Existi...
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...
