In this paper, we propose the first wire density driven global routing that considers CMP variation and timing. To enable CMP awareness during global routing, we propose a compac...
— As nanometer technology advances, the post-CMP dielectric thickness variation control becomes crucial for manufacturing closure. To improve CMP quality, dummy feature filling ...
In this paper, we propose the first metal-density driven placement algorithm to reduce CMP variation and achieve higher routability. Based on an analytical placement framework, we...
