We investigate appropriate regimes for transmission line propagation of signals on digital integrated circuits. We start from exact solutions to the transmission line equations pr...
The simulation of on-chip inductance using PEEC-based circuit analysis methods often requires the solution of a subproblem where an extracted inductance matrix must be multiplied ...

In deep submicron VLSI circuits, interconnect reliability due to electromigration and thermal effects is fast becoming a serious design issue particularly for long signal lines. T...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
