Flip-chip routing with unified area-I/O pad assignments for package-board co-design
In this paper, we present a novel flip-chip routing algorithm for package-board co-design. Unlike the previous works that can consider only either free- or pre-assignment routing,...

Matching-based minimum-cost spare cell selection for design changes
Metal-only ECO realizes the last-minute design changes by revising the photomasks of metal layers only. This task is challenging because the pre-injected spare cells are limited b...
