研究概况

三维IC芯片设计从面积、线长、热的角度,对三维芯片物理设计优化理论与方法进行研究,是延续摩尔定律的新兴研究领域。在三维IC布图规划和布局方向上,我的课题组与Intel公司合作,开展相关算法研究,提出了旨在降低算法复杂度的划分策略、热优化算法、热通孔分配算法;我们开发的工具系统交付Intel公司,受到Intel公司好评,就此发表的论文被2005年IEEE ASICON国际会议评为最佳论文;此外,我们还与美国西北大学合作,首次提出了三维解析式布局算法策略。

在多目标极大规模布局算法的方向,我的课题组结合纳米及超深亚微米工艺IC设计需要,对极大规模、混合模式、旨在解决设计收敛的多目标布局算法进行研究。我们与Intel公司合作提出了大规模混合模式布局优化算法,解决了大模块和标准单元同时安置的难题;我们开发的面向混合模式的布局工具交付Intel公司,被对方评价为“世界一流水平”;我们提出的面向时钟节点规划的布局算法,从设计方法学上解决了时钟设计与布局的融合问题。

在互连线规划与优化方向,低功耗、低热耗和低成品率是目前纳米IC发展的瓶颈。我的课题组早在2004年对该方向进行了深入研究,目前处于国际前沿水平。我们提出了时延、功耗及热的多目标物理优化算法,解决了低功耗的物理设计问题,是国际上较早开展低功耗物理优化算法的团队之一,成果获得ACM GLVLSI 2008国际会议最佳论文奖;我们提出了时钟和电源/地线网络快速分析算法,解决了大规模互连网络分析速度和精度的难题;我们与Intel公司合作,完成封装与P/G协同分析的前瞻性研究课题;此外,我们还与Synopsys公司合作,提出了成品率驱动的布线算法,解决了物理设计阶段与IC制造结合的难题,也是国际上较早开展提高成品率的物理优化算法的团队之一,成果获得ICCAD会议最佳论文提名奖。在可编程、可重构SOC关键技术方向,我们结合国内在SOC和FPGA设计方面的需要,对其关键技术和优化算法进行研究。在国家自然科学基金重点项目资助下,我们提出了可重构MPGA结构以及针对FPGA的布局、布线算法。我们还受邀主办2010年IEEE FPT国际会议,这是该会议首次在中国大陆召开。
