Abstract— This paper addresses the module assignment problem in pinlimited designs under the stacked-Vdd circuit paradigm. A partition-based algorithm is presented for efficient...
Abstract— Thermal issues are a primary concern in the threedimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) design. Temperature, area, and wire length must be simultaneously optimized du...
