Interconnect delay has become a critical factor in determining the performance of integrated circuits. Routing and buffering are powerful means of improving the circuit speed and ...
This paper presents the first in-depth study on applying dual Vdd buffers to buffer insertion and multi-sink buffered tree construction for power minimization under delay constrai...
Buffer insertion method plays a great role in modern VLSI design. Many buffer insertion algorithms have been proposed in recent years. However, most of them used simplified delay ...
— In this paper, we present an obstacle-aware clock tree synthesis method for through-silicon-via (TSV)-based 3D ICs. A unique aspect of this problem lies in the fact that variou...
In this paper, we address the problem of simultaneous routing and buffer insertion. Recently in [12, 22], the authors considered simultaneous maze routing and buffer insertion und...
