In this paper, we investigate the timing implications of dummy fill for large-scale designs implemented in 65 nm process technology. For each design, we employ each of rule-based and model-based metal fill generation techniques and model the incremental path-wise delay increases and the level of interconnect planarization due to the fill metal. The results indicate that fill metal can cause significant...
The VLSI placement problem is to place objects into a fixed die such that there are no overlaps among objects and some cost metric (e.g., wirelength, routability) is optimized. It is a major step in physical design that has been studied for decades. However, modern VLSI design challenges have reshaped the placement problem. A modern placer needs to handle large-scale designs with millions of objects,...
The design of complex analog front-ends demands the exploration of a huge design space at different levels of abstraction and using a multitude of simulators. One of the main issues is to guarantee the consistency of the models and the model parameters between the different abstraction levels. A methodology and a tool, called NETLISP, has been developed for the purpose of guaranteeing the consistency...
