— 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...
Abstract— Routing tree construction is a fundamental problem in modern VLSI design. In this paper we propose CDCTree, an Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree (OARSM...

In this paper, we derive the X-half-perimeter wirelength (XHPWL) model for X-architecture placement and explore the effects of three different wire models on X-architecture plac...
In this paper, we study the buffered clock tree synthesis problem under thermal variations for 3D IC technology. Our major contribution is the Balanced Skew Theorem, which provides...
In this paper, we present a new clock routing algorithm which minimizes total wirelength under any given path-length skew bound. The algorithm constructs a bounded-skew tree (BST)...
