A VLSI algorithm for solving a special block–five– diagonal system of linear algebraic equations will be presented. The algorithm is considered for the VLSI parallel computational model where both the time of the algorithm and the area of its design are components of the complexity estimations. The linear system arises from the finite– difference approximation of the first biharmonic boundary v...

Initial electronic design automation is concerned with the design and production of VLSI systems. The next important step in creating a VLSI circuit is Physical Design. Physical design problems are combinatorial in nature and of large problem sizes. Due to its complexity, the physical design is normally divided into various sub-steps. The circuit has to be partitioned to get some (up to 50) mac...

Due to advent of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), mainly due to rapid advances in integration technologies the electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last two decades. Various applications of VLSI circuits in high-performance computing, telecommunications, and consumer electronics has been expanding progressively, and at a very hasty pace. Steady advances in semi-con...

With advancements in VLSI fabrication technology, interconnecting wires are being placed in closer proximity while circuits are starting to operate at higher frequencies. Thus, reduction in crosstalk between interconnects becomes an important consideration for VLSI physical design. In this paper, we have reviewed the effects and impact that crosstalk has on the performance and reliability of VL...

This paper describes the restructuring of VLSI education at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). Changing needs of industry, advances in technology and design methodology has required a significant reorganization of VLSI education with combined emphasis on system issues and associated physical constraints. We present here a course structure which will address in parallel fashion the key design ...

Design Rule Checking (DRC) in VLSI design involves checking if a given VLSI layout satisfies a given set of rules, and reporting the violations if any. We propose data structures for reporting violations of the minimum extension rule in a query window of

We describe our experiences in using microelectronic design projects as cooperative education experiences for electrical engineering majors. We discuss funding of the necessary VLSI design laboratory and describe our course offerings. We believe our “alternative co-op” program is of value to VLSI educators with limited resources who are looking for ways to provide students with an alternative t...

While considerable progress has been made in the areas of etch simulation [4, 6, 7, 8, 18], nite element analysis [3, 5, 11, 14, 16, 17, 22], corner compensation [1, 13, 15], and design [10, 19, 20, 21] the fabrication of MEMS has been made without the bene t of design automation techniques. In contrast, the design of VLSI systems has become highly formalized and automated. One of the goals of ...
