This work addresses the gate sizing and Vt assignment problem for power, area and timing optimization in modern integrated circuits (IC). The proposed flow is applied to the Benchmark Suites of the International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD) 2012 and 2013 Contests. It is also adapted and evaluated in the post placement and post global routing stage of an industrial IC design flow using a sign-off static timing analysis engine. The proposed techniques are able to generate the best solutions for all benchmarks in the ISPD 2013 Contest (in which we were the winning team), with on average 8% lower leakage with respect to all other contestants. Also, after some refinements in the algorithms, we reduce leakage by another 10% on average over...
