Rapid approximation of the transient response of high-speed global interconnects is needed to estimate the time delay, crosstalk, and overshoot in a GSI multilevel wiring network....

We present a set of techniques for placement-coupled, timingdriven logic replication. Two components are at the core of the approach. First is an algorithm for optimal timingdrive...
The negative effect of electromigration on signal and power line lifetime and functional reliability is an increasingly important problem for the physical design of integrated cir...
