Conventionally, signal net routing is almost always implemented as Steiner trees. However, non-tree topology is often superior on timing performance as well as tolerance to open f...
In this paper, we propose a global routing algorithm for multi-layer building-block layouts. The algorithm is based on successive ripup and rerouting while satisfying edge capacit...
Global routing is an important step in the physical design process. In this paper, we propose a new global routing algorithm Archer, which resolves some of the most common problem...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
