The role of custom design in ASIC Chips
Custom design, in which the designer controls the physical structure of the chip, can greatly improve the speed, power, and delay of an ASIC chip without affecting design time. Th...

Inductive interconnect width optimization for low power
The width of an interconnect line a ects the total power consumed by a circuit. A tradeo exists, however, between the dynamic power and the short-circuit power in determining the ...

An efficient approach to simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing
In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We de ne a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...
