High-level power design presents a complex, multiobjective problem that involves the simultaneous optimisation of competing criteria such as speed, area and power. It is difficult...
To reduce manufacturing variation due to chemicalmechanical polishing and to improve yield, layout must be made uniform with respect to density criteria. This is achieved by layou...
