Modeling layout is an important first step for graphic design. Recently, methods generating layouts have progressed, particularly with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). However, the problem of specifying locations and sizes design elements usually involves constraints respect to element attributes, such as area, aspect ratio reading-order. Automating attribute conditional remains a comple...

A new approach for designing an ultra wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. The aim of this design is to achieve a low noise figure, reasonable power gain and low power consumption in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Also, the figure of merit (FOM) is significantly improved at 180nm technology compared to the other state-of-the-art designs. Improved π-network and T-network are used to obt...

Several yield enhancement techniques are proposed for the last two stages of VLSI design, i.e., topological/symbolic and physical layout synthesis. Our approach is based on modiications of the symbolic/physical layout to reduce the sensitivity of the design to random point defects without increasing the area, rather than fault tolerance techniques. A layout compaction algorithm is presented and...

In today’s business world, competitiveness defines as an industry leader to drive towards maximum efficiency and it is constantly at the forefront of the companies objectives. Managers across the country are striving to adopt lean manufacturing practices to improve their bottom line cellular manufacturing and it helps to build a variety of products with as little scrap as possible. Layout a fac...

| An array cell (AC) architecture for the layout design is described, which is dedicated to lowpower design by means of the NMOS 4-phase dynamic logic. An AC is constructed of (M N)+2 transistors so as to constitute each type of NMOS 4-phase logic gates. A graph theoretic approach is exploited in the layout design to reduce the layout area. A number of experimental results demonstrate the pract...

Flexible manufacturing and customization is a considerable topic in modern manufacturing automobile industry. However, challenges still remain on the responsiveness of production system to the fluctuation of production demand. In this paper we developed a flexible machine layout that is not restricted to equal size machines. The layout optimizes the trade-offs between increased material handlin...

Automated FPGA Design, Verification and Layout Ian Carlos Kuon Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2004 The design and layout of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is a timeconsuming process that is currently performed manually. This work investigates two issues faced when automating this task. First, an accurate compari...
