To reduce the number of synthesis and layout iterations, we present a new delay optimization technique, which inserts buers based on back-annotated detailed routing information. D...
Abstract--This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the u...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance. Buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing are ...

Interconnect delay has become a critical factor in determining the performance of integrated circuits. Routing and buffering are powerful means of improving the circuit speed and ...
We describe an improved iterationless approach for computing the effective capacitance of an interconnect load at a driving gate output. The speed and accuracy of our approach mak...
