— In this work we describe significant improvements to core routing technologies and outperform the best results from the ISPD ‘07 Global Routing Contest, as well as previous ...
Many current integrated circuits designs, such as those released for the ISPD2005[14] placement contest, are extremely large and can contain a great deal of white space. These new...
When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
In this paper, we propose fast and efficient techniques to analyze the power grid with accurate modeling of the transistor network. The solution techniques currently available for...
