To develop the semiconductor industry in any country, working knowledge of VLSI circuit design is crucial. galvanize undergraduate students to learn and work burgeoning field VLSI, a competition, “VLSI Design Competition 2022,” was jointly organized by IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)/Electron Devices (EDS) Bangladesh Joint Chapter Department Electrical Electronic Engineering (EEE), Uni...

the crossing number of a graph  is the minimum number of edge crossings over all possible drawings of  in a plane. the crossing number is an important measure of the non-planarity of a graph, with applications in discrete and computational geometry and vlsi circuit design. in this paper we introduce vertex centered crossing number and study the same for maximal planar graph.

floorplanning is an important step in physical design of vlsi circuits. it is used to plan the positions of a set of circuit modules on a chip in order to optimize the circuit performance. however, modern floorplanning takes better care of providing extra options to place dedicated modules in the hierarchical designs to align circuit blocks one by one within certain bounding box for helping seq...
