Abstract

Detailed routing is a crucial task in physical design of VLSI chips. Many routing algorithms have been proposed and most of them, besides the maze and line search, are oriented towards handling specified detailed routing tasks. In this paper, we discuss routing strategies for switch box problems. Switch boxes are closed, rectilinear regions with terminals on all of their sides. They create the most difficult detailed routing tasks. Here, we discuss problems which make switch box routing so difficult and give an overview of representative heuristics for solving it.
