— In this paper, we present an obstacle-aware clock tree synthesis method for through-silicon-via (TSV)-based 3D ICs. A unique aspect of this problem lies in the fact that variou...

A key problem that arises in System-on-a-Chip (SOC) designs of today is the Chip-level Clock Tree Synthesis (CCTS). CCTS is done by merging all the clock trees belonging to differ...

Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...
