The wire length estimation is the bottleneck of packing based block placers. To cope with this problem, we present a fast wire length estimation method in this paper. The key idea...
In this paper, we show that under the constant delay model the placement problem is equivalent to minimizing a weighted sum of wire lengths. The weights can be efficiently compute...

—For nanoscale interconnection, the scattering effect will soon become prominent due to scaling. It will increase the effective resistivity and thus interconnection delay signifi...
We propose an approach for reducing the energy consumption of address buses that targets both the switching and the crosstalk components of power dissipation. The method is based ...
The gap between VLSI technology and fabrication technology leads to strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge challenge to reliably print layout features...
