Multilayer Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Tree Construction Based on Spanning Graphs
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on routing layers, a multilayer obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (ML-OARSMT) connects these pins by rectilinear edges w...

Obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner tree construction
— In today’s VLSI designs, there can be many blockages in a routing region. The obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem has become an important prob...
