Routing of VLSI chips is an important, time consuming, and
difficult problem. The difficulty of the problem is attributed to
the large number of often conflicting factors that affect the
routing quality. Traditional techniques have approached routing by
ignoring some of these factors and imposing unnecessary constraints
in order to make routing tractable. In addition to the imposition
of these restrictions, which simplify the problems to a degree but
at the same time reduce the routing quality, traditional approaches
use brute force. They often transform the problem into mathematical
or graph problems and completely ignore the specific knowledge
about the routing task that can greatly help the solution. This
thesis overcomes some of the above problems and presents a system
that performs routing close to what human designers do. In other
words it heavily capitalizes on the knowledge of human expertise in
this area, it does not impose unnecessary constraints, it considers
all the different factors that affect the routing quality, and most
importantly it allows constant user interaction throughout the
routing process. To achieve the above, this thesis presents
background about some representative techniques for routing and
summarizes their characteristics. It then studies in detail the
different factors (such as minimum area, number of vias, wire
length, etc.) that affect the routing quality, and the different
criteria (such as vertical/horizontal constraint graph, merging,
minimal rectilinear Steiner tree, etc.) that can be used to
optimize these factors.
