摘要:
Improving the routability of integrated circuit (IC) design without impacting the area. A local region of congestion of an IC design is determined according to a design parameter. A cell with a specified level of complexity is identified within the local region of congestion. An alternative cell is algorithmically created with a same logic function as the cell by adding an access point to the alternative cell. The cell is then replaced with the alternative cell within the local region of congestion.
