FPGA routing resources typically consist of segments of various lengths. Due to the segmented routing architectures, the traditional measure of wiring cost (wirelength, delay, con...
I/O placement has always been a concern in modern IC design. Due to flip-chip technology, I/O can be placed throughout the whole chip without long wires from the periphery of the...

The gap between VLSI technology and fabrication technology leads to strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge challenge to reliably print layout features...
When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
