Starting from the 90nm technology node, process induced stress has played a key role in the design of highperformance devices. The emergence of source/drain silicon germanium (S/D ...
Database applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP) and decision support systems (DSS) constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multipro...
Current advances in chip design and manufacturing have allowed IC manufacturing to approach the nanometer range. As the feature size scales down, greater variability is experience...
This paper studies the optimality, scalability and stability of stateof-the-art partitioning and placement algorithms. We present algorithms to construct two classes of benchmarks...
The sustained progress of VLSI technology has altered the landscape of routing which is a major physical design stage. For timing driven routings, traditional approaches which con...
