Abstract--In this paper, we propose track routing and optimization for yield (TROY), the first track router for the optimization of yield loss due to random defects. As the probabi...
In this paper, we propose TROY, the first track router with yield-driven wire planning to optimize yield loss due to random defects. As the probability of failure (POF) computed f...
- Redundant via insertion is a good solution to reduce the yield loss by via failure. However, the existing methods are all post-layout optimizations that insert redundant via afte...

— Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the key steps during nanometer VLSI manufacturing process where minimum variation of layout pattern densities is desired. This pap...
We present the first efficient approach to global routing that takes spacing-dependent costs into account and provably finds a near-optimum solution including these costs. We sh...
