With technology scaling, integrated circuits behave more unpredictably due to process variation, environmental changes and aging effects. Various variation-aware and adaptive desi...
The negative effect of electromigration on signal and power line lifetime and functional reliability is an increasingly important problem for the physical design of integrated cir...
A hierarchical scheme with cells and modules is crucial for managing design complexity during a large integrated circuit design. We present a methodology for thermal aware cell-ba...
Recent technological advances in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communications have enabled the design of lowcost, miniature, lightweight, and intelligent ph...
Physical synthesis is a relatively young field in Electronic Design Automation. Many published optimizations for physical synthesis end up hurting the quality of the final design,...
