Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
— This paper analyzes the behavior of interconnects in the highly structured environment of a network-on-chip (NoC). Two distinct classes of wires are considered, namely links be...
This paper presents an efficient approach to perform global interconnect sizing and spacing (GISS) for multiple nets to minimize interconnect delays with consideration of couplin...

Abstract--In this paper, we propose track routing and optimization for yield (TROY), the first track router for the optimization of yield loss due to random defects. As the probabi...
The “chicken-egg” dilemma between VLSI interconnect timing optimization and delay calculation suggests an iterative approach. We separate interconnect timing transformation as...
