Abstract (Summary of the Work)

In today's VLSI technology the chip area is shrinking fast in order to meet speed and performance criteria. With the reduction in chip area critical factors like power consumption, power density, and propagation delay come into play. The heat generated due to the power consumption by various elements is radiated through the substrate. Due to reduction in chip size area this accumulated heat may attain very high levels, and consequently the power density may exceed a threshold value at some points on the layout causing thermal damage to the chip. In this dissertation, a geometric approach is presented to model and identify these hot spots. Results based on simulation are also reported.
