— 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...
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...
Abstract--This paper presents a solution to the problem of performance-driven buffered routing tree generation for VLSI circuits. Using a novel bottom-up construction algorithm and...
Although a lot of research efforts have been made in the minimization of the total power consumption caused by the clock tree, no attention has been paid to the minimization of th...
