A New Area and Shape Function Estimation Technique for VLSI Layouts
نویسنده
چکیده
Area estimation of I layouts has -:come an important requirement for early design and top-down chip planning tools. Especially the relation of area and aspect ratio (shape function) is necessary for chip planning. Statistical models have been published with good results for standard cell blocks with near unity aspect ratios. This paper describes a new model for the prediction of shape functions for aspect ratios up to 15. The model is based on the shape and connectivity of adjacent cells. It can be used for many different design styles and has been tested for standard cell blocks and for the placement of general cells.

Interconnection Length Estimation During Hierarchical VLSI Design
A lognormal interconnection length distribution function is derived from a large number of VLSI layouts. The assumption of a Weibull distribution could not be confirmed. Hierarchical slicing trees are derived from structural descriptions of the sample systems by recursive partitioning. Using the earlier proposed area estimation results, a new model for interconnection length estimation based on...
متن کاملEstimation of Source Location Using Curvature Analysis
A quadratic surface can be fitted to potential-field data within 3×3 windows, which allow us to calculate curvature attributes from its coefficients. Phillips (2007) derived an equation depending on the most negative curvature to obtain the depth and structural index of isolated sources from peak values of special functions. They divided the special functions into two categories: Model-specific...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
