ct This paper develops an aggregation-based algebraic multigrid (AbAMG) method to efficiently analyze the power grids. Different from the conventional algebraic multigrid (AMG) sc...
Model order reduction plays a key role in determining VLSI system performance and the optimization of interconnects. In this paper, we develop an accurate and provably passive met...
Historically, design margin and defects have been viewed as different topics, one part of design and the other part of test. Shrinking process geometries are making the two part o...
Novel experimental characterization method and circuit modeling for frequency-variant transmission lines are presented. Experimental test patterns are designed and fabricated by u...
Due to the roaring power dissipation and gaining popularity of 3D integration, thermal dissipation has been a critical concern of modern VLSI design. The availability for chip-lev...
With the increasing size and sophistication of circuits and specifically in the presence of IP blocks, new wirelength estimation methods are needed in the design flow of large-sca...
