Abstract

[UC,BNR] formulate a linear layout problem for static CMOS gates and give partial solutions of the problem. [O] reformulates the problem in two ways for dynamic CMOS cells and gives partial solutions. We give complete solutions to both problems formulated by [O] by giving linear algorithms.
