We propose in this paper a novel framework for multilevel routing considering both routability and performance. The two-stage multilevel framework consists of coarsening followed ...
— Due to its great flexibility, gridless routing is desirable for nanometer circuit designs that use variable wire widths and spacings. Nevertheless, it is much more difficult ...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for fast multilevel routing considering crosstalk and performance optimization. To handle the crosstalk minimization problem, we incorp...

With the exponential reduction in the scaling of feature size, inter-wire coupling capacitance becomes the dominant part of load capacitance. Two problems are introduced by coupli...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
