Scan chains are widely used to improve the testability of IC designs. In traditional 2D IC designs, various design techniques on the construction of scan chains have been proposed...
Abstract— Power consumption has become a crucial problem in modern circuit design. Multiple Supply Voltage (MSV) design is introduced to provide higher flexibility in controllin...
We propose a post-placement physical synthesis algorithm that can apply multiple circuit synthesis and placement transforms on a placed circuit to improve the critical path delay ...
In order to handle device matching in analog circuits, some pairs of modules are required to be placed symmetrically. This paper addresses this device-level placement problem for ...

With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
