Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, it is desirable to incorporate global routing into early design stages to get accurate interco...
The number of vias generated during the global routing stage is a critical factor for the yield of final circuits. However, most global routers only approach the problem by chargin...
Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect inf...
This paper presents a fast and accurate solution, namely Fashion, to routability-driven global routing problem. Fashion is based on two efficient yet effective techniques: 1) dynam...
