This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...
As thermal problems become more evident, new physical design paradigms and tools are needed to alleviate them. Incorporating thermal vias into integrated circuits (ICs) is a promi...
The routing channels of an FPGA consist of wire segments of various types providing the tradeoff between performance and routability. In the routing architectures of recently dev...

3D packaging via System-On-Package (SOP) is a viable alternative to System-On-Chip (SOC) to meet the rigorous requirements of today’s mixed signal system integration. In this wo...
Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
