- Traditionally, minimum possible area of a VLSI layout is considered the best for delay and power minimization due to decreased interconnect capacitance. This paper shows however ...
This paper presents the first in-depth study on applying dual Vdd buffers to buffer insertion and multi-sink buffered tree construction for power minimization under delay constrai...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
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 ...
† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
