Abstract--This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the u...
In this paper, we present an algorithm for delay minimization of interconnect trees by simultaneous buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing. The algorithm integrates the quadratic...
Buffer insertion has become a critical step in deep submicron design, and several buffer insertion/sizing algorithms have been proposed in the literature. However, most of these m...

In this paper, we propose a global routing algorithm for multi-layer building-block layouts. The algorithm is based on successive ripup and rerouting while satisfying edge capacit...
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 ...
