Abstract--The rectilinear Steiner tree (RST) problem is of essential importance to the automatic interconnect optimization for VLSI design. In this paper, we present a class of pro...
With process technology and functional integration advancing steadily, chips are continuing to grow in area while critical dimensions are shrinking. This has led to the emergence o...

The goal of this work was to simulate the effect of the finite conductivity of semiconductor substrates on the on-chip coupling inductance and then to investigate the effect of the...
In this paper, we deal with arbitrarily shaped rectilinear module placement using the transitive closure graph (TCG) representation. The geometric meanings of modules are transpare...
: Clock networks account for a significant fraction of the power dissipation of a chip and are critical to performance. This paper presents theory and algorithms for building a low...
