  • Patent number: 11861283
    Abstract: A placement method for integrated circuit design is provided. Each net is considered as a soft module. The net will receive a larger penalty if it covers more routing congested regions. Therefore, it is easier to move the nets away from routing congested regions. In addition, to relieve local congestion, a novel inflation method is proposed to expand the area of a cluster according to its internal connectivity intensity and routing congestion occupied by the cluster. Accordingly, it can get better routability and wirelength.
