Placement and routing are two critical yet time-consuming steps of chip design in modern
VLSI systems. Distinct from traditional heuristic solvers, this paper on one hand proposes an …

Optimizing circuit performance presents a pivotal challenge in the realm of automatic analog
physical design. The intricacy of analog performance arises from its sensitivity to layout …

MAGICAL is an open-source system for analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit layout
synthesis. Using custom place-and-route and constraint extraction algorithms, MAGICAL …

Placement is a critical step in layout automation for analog and mixed-signal (AMS)-
integrated circuits (ICs). It determines the proximity of devices and influences the wiring …

While digital integrated circuits (ICs) has adopted highly automated computer aided design
(CAD) tools for decades including synthesis, placement, and routing, analog, and mixed …

Well island generation and well tap placement is an important problem in analog/mixed-
signal (AMS) circuits. Well taps can only prevent latchups within a certain radius of influence …

The performance of analog circuits is critically dependent on layout parasitics, but layout has
traditionally been a manual and time-consuming task. Recent advances in ML have enabled …

The performance of analog circuits is critically dependent on layout parasitics, but the layout
