— In this paper, we present the first work on the Steiner routing for 3D stacked ICs. In the 3D Steiner routing problem, the pins are located in multiple device layers, which ma...
In this paper we propose a novel analog design optimization methodology to address two key aspects of top-down system-level design: (1) how to optimally compare and select analog ...

This paper presents an in-depth study of the theory and algorithms for the SPFD-based (Set of Pairs of Functions to be Distinguished) rewiring, and explores the flexibility in the...
We investigate appropriate regimes for transmission line propagation of signals on digital integrated circuits. We start from exact solutions to the transmission line equations pr...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
