The earliest and the most critical stage in VLSI layout design is the placement. The background
is the rectangle packing problem: given a set of rectangular modules of arbitrary sizes, …

A new method of packing rectangles (modules) is presented with applications to IC layout
design. It is based on the bounded-sliceline grid (BSG) structure. The BSG dissects the plane …

The first and the most critical stage in VLSI layout design is the placement, the background
of which is the rectangle packing problem: Given many rectangular modules of arbitrary size, …

A new method of packing the rectangles is proposed with applications to integrated circuit (IC)
layout design. A special work-sheet, called the bounded-sliceline grid, is introduced. It …

The three dimensional (3D) packing problem is to arrange given rectangular boxes in a
rectangular box of the minimum volume without overlapping each other. As an approach, this …

This paper presents a novel regularity evaluation of placement structure and MOS analog
specific layout techniques called diffusion sharing and well island generation, which are …

This paper introduces a new concept of floorplanning and block placement, called structured
placement. Regularity is a key criterion of structured placement so that placement can …

The BSG-based packing of rectangles has been sho~ vn a breakthrough in problem size
and generality, if rout ing is not involved. In order to include the routing,~ vedefine the …

In this letter, a new efficient model pruning method, called regularized sparsity adaptive
matching pursuit (RSAMP), is presented to prune the redundant terms of memory polynomial …

This paper presents a novel regularity evaluation of placement structure and techniques for
handling conditional design rules along with dynamic diffusion sharing and well island …
