Large-Scale Circuit Placement: Gap and Promise
Placement is one of the most important steps in the RTLto-GDSII synthesis process, as it directly defines the interconnects, which have become the bottleneck in circuit and syste...

A scalable soft spot analysis methodology for compound noise effects in nano-meter circuits
Circuits using nano-meter technologies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to signal interference from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft errors. One way to...

Analysis of DC current crowding in through-silicon-vias and its impact on power integrity in 3D ICs
Due to the large geometry of through-silicon-vias (TSVs) and their connections to the power grid, significant current crowding can occur in 3D ICs. Prior works model TSVs and pow...

Synthesizing a representative critical path for post-silicon delay prediction
Several approaches to post-silicon adaptation require feedback from a replica of the nominal critical path, whose variations are intended to reflect those of the entire circuit a...
