Interconnects are vital in deep sub-micron VLSI design, as they impose constraints, such as delay, congestion, crosstalk, power dissipation and others, and consume resources. These parameters affect the efforts for obtaining a feasible solution for the global routing of multiple nets. In addition, efforts are on for exploration and use of non-Manhattan routing architectures. In this work, we focus on the specific problem of multi-net multi-pin global Y -routing for custombuilt design styles with several available routing layers. The problem is formulated as a minimum crossing Y -Steiner Minimal tree problem with multi-layer assignment. Experimental results are quite encouraging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
