Topic
Integrated Circuit Routing for Advanced Manufacturing Technology Nodes
Abstract
Advanced technology nodes bring forward challenges in design of Integrated Circuits which require developing new physical design techniques and algorithms. From a routing perspective these challenges stem from factors such as significant variation of up to 10X in wire size and spacing across the routing metal layers, cell pin access in technologies utilizing multiple patterning and vertical devices, as well as various types of restrictions and blockages on the routing layers. These complexities together with the sheer exponential increase in the routing problem size call for developing innovative and computationally-efficient procedures. In this talk, I will give an overview of my research in the routing area as it relates to addressing the above challenges.
