A dual-MST approach for clock network synthesis
Abstract--In nanometer-scale VLSI physical design, clock network becomes a major concern on determining the total performance of digital circuit. Clock skew and PVT (Process, Volta...

A Geometric Programming-Based Worst Case Gate Sizing Method Incorporating Spatial Correlation
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

Capturing topology-level implications of link synthesis techniques for nanoscale networks-on-chip
In the context of nanoscale networks-on-chip (NoCs), each link implementation solution is not just a specific synthesis optimization technique with local performance and power im...

Making fast buffer insertion even faster via approximation techniques
Abstract— As technology scales to 0.13 micron and below, designs are requiring buffers to be inserted on interconnects of even moderate length for both critical paths and fixing...

Watermarking while preserving the critical path
In many modern designs, timing is either a key optimization goal and/or a mandatory constraint. We propose the first intellectual property protection technique using watermarking ...
