In this paper, we propose three different parallel algorithms based on a state-of-the-art global router called TimberWolfSC. The parallel algorithms have been implemented by using...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
Heat dissipation is one of the most serious challenges in 3D IC designs. One effective way of reducing circuit temperature is to introduce thermal through-the-silicon (TTS) vias....
In this paper, we propose a new approach for VLSI interconnect global routing that can optimize both congestion and delay, which are often competing objectives. Our approach provi...
The flip-chip package is introduced for modern IC designs with higher integration density and larger I/O counts. In this paper, we consider the pre-assignment flip-chip routing pr...
