Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles have the potential to provide an attractive solution for the resistivity and electromigration problems faced by traditional copper int...
How to estimate the shortest routing length when certain blocks are considered as routing obstacles is becoming an essential problem for block placement because HPWL is no longer v...

With aggressive scaling down of feature sizes in VLSI fabrication, process variation has become a critical issue in designs. We show that two necessary conditions for the "Ma...
An algorithm for inversion in GF(2m ) suitable for implementation using a polynomial multiply instruction on GF(2) is proposed. It is based on the extended Euclid's algorithm...
This paper looks at the CAD implications of possible new interconnect technologies. We consider three technologies in particular: three dimensional ICs, carbon nanotubes as a repl...
