Conventional global routing minimizes total wire length and congestion. Experiments using large industrial benchmark circuits show that up to 24% of nets in such routing solutions...
Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep-submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on the local ...
Placement migration is the movement of cells within an existing placement to address a variety of post-placement design closure issues, such as timing, routing congestion, signal ...

Both technology mapping and circuit clustering have a large impact on FPGA designs in terms of circuit performance, area, and power dissipation. Existing FPGA design flows carry o...
Steiner routing is a fundamental yet NP-hard problem in VLSI design and other research fields. In this paper, we propose to model the routing graph by an RC network with routing t...
