– As silicon technology scales, we can integrate more and more circuits on a single chip, which means more I/Os are needed in modern designs. The flip-chip technology which was ...
Optoelectronic integrated circuits can support thousands of integrated optical laser diodes and photodetectors bonded to a high-performance CMOS substrate, and can be used in the ...
In order to handle device matching in analog circuits, some pairs of modules are required to be placed symmetrically. This paper addresses this device-level placement problem for ...

To handle modern routing with nanometer effects, we need to consider designs of variable wire widths and spacings, for which gridless routers are desirable due to their great fle...
Routability optimization has become a major concern in the physical design cycle of VLSI circuits. Due to the recent advances in VLSI technology, interconnect has become a dominan...
