Placement is one of the most critical stages in the physical synthesis flow. Circuits with
increasing numbers of cells of multirow height have brought challenges to traditional placers …

The placement stage of the physical design of very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI)
specifies the arrangement and order of standard cells and devices within an area, and the …

Mixed-size cell circuits dominate in advanced technology node designs, with attendant
increases in layout complexity. The introduction of multi-row-height cells requires additional …

Placement is one of the critical stages in the physical design of very large scale integrated
circuits (VLSI), which has significant impact on the performance of integrated circuits, such …

The development of advanced technology nodes has led to a tendency toward mixed-cell-
height layouts, which increases the complexity of the design. In this paper, a robust Newton …

The advancement of semiconductor technology shrinks the feature size but boosts the
number of design rules and requires globalized manufacturing. Crucial problems have …
