Clock tree synthesis is one of the most important and challenging problems in 3D ICs. The clock signals have to be delivered by through-silicon vias (TSVs) to different tiers with...

Design simplification is becoming necessary to respect the target time-to-market of SoCs, and this goal can be obtained by using predesigned IP-cores. However, their correct inte...
In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible ...

In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm flow to handle largescale mixed-size placement. The basic idea is to use floorplanning to guide the placement of objects at the gl...
