Abstract
In this paper, a heuristic planar routing strategy for high performance single-layer layout is presented. The main goal of the approach is to optimize routing performance, i.e., maximize the routed Steiner-length with minimum overhead of routing lengths and number of bends. First, the Shape-Algorithm is introduced to determine the routing sequence for L-shaped nets. Then, the Flow-Algorithm, is applied based on a rubber-band equivalent (RBE) of the sketch to route the rest of the incomplete nets. The technique has been implemented and tried out for randomly generated data and examples. Simulation results show that the algorithm is highly efficient in high performance routing.
