Process Variation Aware Interconnect Simulation and Optimization in VLSI Design

High-Speed Interconnects in VLSI Design, Modeling, and Signal Integrity

The rapid advancement in VLSI (Very-Large-Scale Integration) technology has ushered in a new era of high-performance systems, where interconnects have become a critical bottleneck in determining speed, power, and reliability. This textbook provides a comprehensive understanding of high-speed interconnect design, analytical and simulation-based modeling techniques, and signal integrity challenges in modern integrated circuits. It is intended for graduate students, researchers, and industry professionals involved in IC design and signal integrity analysis.

3D Interconnect Architectures for Heterogeneous Technologies

This book describes the first comprehensive approach to the optimization of interconnect architectures in 3D systems on chips (SoCs), specially addressing the challenges and opportunities arising from heterogeneous integration. Readers learn about the physical implications of using heterogeneous 3D technologies for SoC integration, while also learning to maximize the 3D-technology gains, through a physical-effect-aware architecture design. The book provides a deep theoretical background covering all abstraction-levels needed to research and architect tomorrow’s 3D-integrated circuits, an extensive set of optimization methods (for power, performance, area, and yield), as well as an open-source optimization and simulation framework for fast exploration of novel designs.
