Proceedings ArticleDOI
An efficient mask optimization method based on homotopy continuation technique
Frank Liu,Xiaokang Shi +1 more
TL;DR: A novel inverse lithography method to solve the mask optimization problem is presented, recognizing that when formulated on a pixel-by-pixel basis with partially coherent optical models, the problem is a large-scale nonlinear optimization problem.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Efficient computation of current flow in signal wires for reliability analysis
Kanak B. Agarwal,Frank Liu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present closed-from analytical models for efficient computation of average, root-mean-square and peak currents through any element in an arbitrary RC tree, which are validated against SPICE simulations for several RC nets extracted from an industrial ASIC design.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Variability analysis under layout pattern-dependent rapid-thermal annealing process
Yun Ye,Frank Liu,Min Chen,Yu Cao +3 more
TL;DR: This work develops joint thermal/TCAD simulation and compact modeling tools to analyze performance variability under various layout pattern densities and RTA conditions and proposes a suite of compact models that bridge the underlying RTA process with device parameter change for efficient design optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consistent initial conditions for the Saint-Venant equations in river network modeling
TL;DR: In this article, two new approaches are defined and demonstrated for computing flows and cross-sectional areas (or depths) in a river network, which can produce an initial condition data set that is consistent with modeled landscape runoff and river geometry boundary conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Placement and Skew Optimization for Rotary Clocking
TL;DR: This paper proposes an integrated placement and skew scheduling methodology to break this hurdle, making rotary clocking compatible with practical design flows, and presents an integer linear programming formulation that minimizes maximum capacitance loaded at any of the rotary rings, thereby maximizing the operating frequency.
