This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...
Clock-tuning has been classified as important but tough tasks due to the non-convex nature caused by the skew requirements. As a result, all existing mathematical programming appr...
In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We dene a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance. Buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing are ...

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...
