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...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process, and as a result several research efforts have been un...
In this invited note we describe Capo, an open-source software tool for cell placement, mixed-size placement and floorplanning with emphasis on routability. Capo is among the fas...
