— The area-I/O flip-chip package provides a high chip-density solution to the demand of more I/O’s in VLSI designs; it can achieve smaller package size, shorter wirelength, an...
Interference model is the basis of MAC protocol design in wireless networks, and it directly affects the efficiency and predictability of wireless messaging. To exploit the strengt...
Double patterning lithography (DPL) is a likely resolution enhancement technique for IC production in 32nm and below technology nodes. However, DPL gives rise to two independent, ...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
Traditionally, rectilinear Steiner minimum trees (RSMT) are widely used for routing estimation in design optimizations like floorplanning and physical synthesis. Since it optimize...
