  • Abstract
    This paper deals with area minimization of power distribution networks for VLSIs. A new algorithm based on efficient nonlinear programming techniques is presented to solve this problem. Experimental results prove that this algorithm has achieved the objectives of minimizing the area of power/ground networks with higher speeds.
