Abstract | |||||||||
| This paper presents a statistical study of the components on VLSI chips. We examine the size and shape of components, and their placement over the chip area. The data is useful for building efficient VLSI design tools: the form of the distribution shows that some simple strategies can lead to efficient algorithms, and the parameters of the distribution aid in choosing program parameters. To illustrate the application of the statistics to VLSI design tasks, we present an algorithm for solving the 'rectangle intersection' problem that arises in design rule checkers.
