Metal-only ECO realizes the last-minute design changes by revising the photomasks of metal layers only. This task is challenging because the pre-injected spare cells are limited b...
One of the major roadblocks in reduction of library generation cycle time is the layout generation phase. The two methods of doing automatic layout generation are synthesis and mig...
A novel high-level approach for estimating power consumption of global interconnects in data-path oriented designs implemented in FPGAs is presented. The methodology is applied to...
In modern IC design, the number of long on-chip wires has been growing rapidly because of the increasing circuit complexity. Interconnect delay has dominated over gate delay as te...
