Abstract

Abstract Three‐layer channel routing is an important problem in VLSI layout. In this paper, we present a topological sorting algorithm to determine the topological order on nets depending on the operations of the vertical constraint graph (VCG) and the horizontal constraint graph (HCG). According to the order, the base router can finish the connections of all nets. In the algorithm, the HVH mode is assumed, and some examples including Deutsch's difficult example are used as test problems.
