Abstract--In this paper, we study wire width planning for interconnect performance optimization in an interconnect-centric design flow. We first propose some simplified, yet near-o...
– Interconnect issues are becoming increasingly important for ULSI systems. IntSim, an interconnect CAD tool, has been developed to obtain pitches of different wiring levels and ...

– This paper addresses the problem of ordering and sizing parallel wires in a single metal layer within an interconnect channel of a given width, such that crosscapacitances are ...
Accurate modeling of delay, power, and area of interconnections early in the design phase is crucial for effective system-level optimization. Models presently used in system-level...
