Abstract-- This paper introduces a new concept of floorplanning and block placement, called structured placement. Regularity is a key criterion of structured placement so that plac...
Power gating has been widely used to reduce subthreshold leakage. However, its efficiency degrades very fast with technology scaling due to the gate leakage of circuits specific t...

Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
Power grid networks in VLSI circuits are required to provide adequate input supply to ensure reliable performance. In this paper, we propose algorithms to find the placement of pow...
- Advanced process technologies impose more significant challenges especially when manufactured circuits exhibit substantial process variations. Consideration of process variations...
