Modern VLSI processing supports a two-dimensional surface for active devices along with multiple stacked layers of interconnect. With the advent of planarization, the number of la...
As feature sizes decrease and chip sizes increase, the area and performance of chips become dominated by the interconnect. In spite of this trend, most existing synthesis systems ...
Thispaper proposes a method for achieving low-power control-logic modules using a combination of CMOS complex gate reorganization, transistor size optimization, and transistor lay...

Structured ASICs present an attractive alternative to reducing design costs and turnaround times in nanometer designs. As with conventional ASICs, such designs require global wire...
We propose a new VLSI layout methodology which addresses the main problems faced in Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) integrated circuit design. Our layout "fabric" scheme eliminate...
