As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
— Conventional methods for optimal sizing of wires and transistors use linear resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit models and the Elmore delay as a measure of signal delay. If the RC ...

-- In interconnect-dominated designs, the ability to minimize layout-induced parasitic effects is crucial for rapid design closure. Deep sub-micron effects and ubiquitous interfere...
Deep submicron processes have allowed FPGAs to grow in complexity and speed. However, such technology scaling has caused FPGAs to become more susceptible to the effects of process...
Partitioning and clustering are crucial steps in circuit layout for handling large scale designs enabled by the deep submicron technologies. Retiming is an important sequential lo...
