Algorithms for VLSI routing. [Very Large Scale Integration, semiconductor chip design]

OSTI ID:6043677

This thesis considers the problems arising from VLSI routing design. Algorithms are proposed for solving both global and local routing problems. For routing multiterminal nets in the gate array and sea-of-gates technologies, the author presents a global router which upper bounds the global density of the routing by 2s*, where s* is the span of the nets. For standard cell technology, he presents a global router which achieves the optimal horizontal density while upper bounding the vertical density by 2s*. The parallel implementations of the proposed global routing algorithms are presented.
