Metal-Density-Driven Placement for CMP Variation and Routability
In this paper, we propose the first metal-density driven placement algorithm to reduce CMP variation and achieve higher routability. Based on an analytical placement framework, we...

A Scalable Algorithmic Framework for Row-Based Power-Gating
Leakage power is a serious concern in nanometer CMOS technologies. In this paper we focus on leakage reduction through automatic insertion of sleep transistors for power gating in...

Quadratic placement using an improved timing model
The performance of timing-driven placement methods depends strongly on the choice of the net model. In this paper a more precise net model is presented that does not increase nume...

Performance-driven register insertion in placement
As the CMOS technology is scaled into the dimension of nanometer, the clock frequencies and die sizes of ICs are shown to be increasing steadily [5]. Today, global wires that requ...

Performance-Driven Interconnect Global Routing
In this paper, we propose a global routing algorithm for multi-layer building-block layouts. The algorithm is based on successive ripup and rerouting while satisfying edge capacit...
