This review provides an overview of the placement function within automatic layout systems.
The automatic placement problem is defined and the data abstractions are described. The …

The motion of human scale objects requires MEMS-like device arrays capable of providing
reasonable forces ($GTR mN) over human scale distances (10-100 cm). In principle batch …

In this paper, we present an accurate model for prediction of interconnection lengths for
standard cell layouts. On the designs in our test suite the estimates are within 10% of the actual …

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for standard cell global routing. The algorithm
considers all of the interconnection nets simultaneously; this produces superior results since …

This paper presents an overview of the Xerox PARC levitating media transport, including initial
experimental results. The levitating media transport is a closed-loop MEMS-based motion …

FPGA's combine the logic integration benefits of custom VLSI with the design, production,
and time-to-market advantages of standard logic IC's. The Actel family of FPGA's exemplifies …

When an over-the-cell routing layer is available for standard cell layout, efficient utilization
of routing space over the cells can significantly reduce layout area. In this paper, we present …

Cell-based layout systems are widely used for automatic physical design of large digital
systems. Standard cell and gate array layout systems are reaching a state of maturity: small …

In this paper, we present an accurate model for prediction of physical desi n characteristics,
such as interconnection lengths anf layout areas, for standard cell layouts. This model …
