We investigate differences in power between application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and custom integrated circuits, with examples from 0.6um to 0.13um CMOS. A variety of ...
Variability of process parameters makes prediction of digital circuit timing characteristics an important and challenging problem in modern chip design. Recently, statistical stat...

A physical yet compact gate delay model is developed integrating short-channel effects and the Alpha-power law based timing model. This analytical approach accurately predicts bot...
We present BonnPlace, a new VLSI placement algorithm that combines the advantages of analytical and partitioning-based placers. Based on (non-disjoint) placements minimizing the t...
Layout parasitics have great impact on analog circuit performance. This paper presents an algorithm for explicit parasitic control during layout retargeting of analog integrated c...
