CAD Techniques for Robust FPGA Design Under Variability
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-01)The imperfections in the semiconductor fabrication process and uncertainty in operating environment of VLSI circuits have emerged as critical challenges for the semiconductor industry. These are generally termed as process ... -
On The Engineering of a Stable Force-Directed Placer
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Analytic and force-directed placement methods that simultaneously minimize wire length and spread cells are receiving renewed attention from both academia and industry. However, these methods are by no means trivial to ... -
On the Use of Directed Moves for Placement in VLSI CAD
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-31)Search-based placement methods have long been used for placing integrated circuits targeting the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and standard cell design styles. Such methods offer the potential for high-quality ... -
Parametric Yield of VLSI Systems under Variability: Analysis and Design Solutions
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Variability has become one of the vital challenges that the designers of integrated circuits encounter. variability becomes increasingly important. Imperfect manufacturing process manifest itself as variations in the ...
