— This article describes an algorithm for curvilinear detailed routing. We significantly improved the average time performance of Gao’s algorithm by resolving its bottleneck r...
Interconnect delay has become a critical factor in determining the performance of integrated circuits. Routing and buffering are powerful means of improving the circuit speed and ...
-- Timing optimization is an important goal of global routing in deep submicron era. To guarantee the timing performance of the circuit, merely adopting topology optimization becom...
As the minimum feature sizes of VLSI circuits get smaller while the clock frequency increases, the effects of process variations become significant. We propose a UST/DME based ap...
ABSTRACT - This paper presents a new design flow, FPDSiMPA, and a set of techniques for synthesizing high-performance sub-half micron logic circuits. FPD-SiMPA consists of logic p...
