Timing yield-aware color reassignment and detailed placement perturbation for double patterning lithography
Double patterning lithography (DPL) is a likely resolution enhancement technique for IC production in 32nm and below technology nodes. However, DPL gives rise to two independent, ...

A rigorous framework for convergent net weighting schemes in timing-driven placement
We present a rigorous framework that defines a class of net weighting schemes in which unconstrained minimization is successively performed on a weighted objective. We show that, ...

Mitigation of intra-array SRAM variability using adaptive voltage architecture
SRAM cell design is driven by the need to satisfy static noise margin, write margin and read current margin (RCM) over all cells in the array in an energy-efficient manner. These ...
