Due to large variations in temperature in VLSI circuits and the linear relationship between metal resistance and temperature, the delay through wires of the same length can be different. Traditional thermal aware floorplanning algorithms use wirelength to estimate delay and routability. In this work, we show that using wirelength as the evaluation metric does not always produce a floorplan with the...
Clock distribution network is sensitive to large thermal gradients on the die as the performance of both clock buffers and interconnects are affected by temperature. A robust clock network design relies on the accurate analysis of clock skew subject to temperature variations. In this work, we address the problem of thermally induced clock skew modeling in nanometer CMOS technologies. The complex thermal...
Floorplanning is becoming more and more important in VLSI design flows, especially for system-on-chip (SoC) designs where IP blocks dominate standard cells. Moreover, in deep sub-micron technologies, where process variations can introduce extra signal skew, it is desirable to have floorplans with balanced net delays to increase the safety margins of the design. In this paper, we investigate the properties...
