—As the 193nm lithography is likely to be used for 45nm and even 32nm processes, much more stringent requirement will be posed on Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) technologies....
Wire pipelining emerges as a new necessity for global wires due to increasing wire delay, shrinking clock period and growing chip size. Existing approaches on wire pipelining are ...
In this paper, we present improvements to recursive bisection based placement. In contrast to prior work, our horizontal cut lines are not restricted to row boundaries; this avoid...

Current CMOS technologies are characterized by interconnect lines with increased relative resistance w.r.t. driver output resistance. Designs generate signal waveshapes that are v...
The recent demand for system-on-chip RF mixed-signal design and aggressive supply-voltage reduction require chip-level accurate analysis of both the substrate and power delivery s...
