— As microprocessor technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime, recent studies show that interconnect delay will be a limiting factor for performance, and multiple c...
Abstract--The rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is of essential importance to the automatic interconnect optimization for VLSI design. In this paper, we present a class of pro...
In deep submicron VLSI circuits, interconnect reliability due to electromigration and thermal effects is fast becoming a serious design issue particularly for long signal lines. T...
Interconnect with an insufficient width may be subject to electromigration and eventually cause the failure of the circuit at any time during its lifetime. This problem has gotten...
We present practical algorithms for the synthesis of crosstalk cancelling equalizing filters. We examine designs optimized for the traditional l2 metric and introduce an approach ...
