Steiner network construction for timing critical nets
Conventionally, signal net routing is almost always implemented as Steiner trees. However, non-tree topology is often superior on timing performance as well as tolerance to open f...

Symmetry detection for incompletely specified functions
In this paper, we formulate symmetry detection for incompletely specified functions as an equation without using cofactor computation and equivalence checking. Based on this equat...

A methodology to improve timing yield in the presence of process variations
The ability to control the variations in IC fabrication process is rapidly diminishing as feature sizes continue towards the sub-100 nm regime. As a result, there is an increasing...

Quadratic placement using an improved timing model
The performance of timing-driven placement methods depends strongly on the choice of the net model. In this paper a more precise net model is presented that does not increase nume...
