Simultaneous Gate and Interconnect Sizing for Circuit-Level Delay Optimization
Abstract—With delays due to the physical interconnect dominating the overall logic path delays, circuit-level delay optimization must take interconnect effects into account. Inst...

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...

A sensitivity based placer for standard cells
We present a new timing driven method for global placement. Our method is based on the observation that similar net length reductions in the different nets that make up a path may...
