Abstract
Obtaining small chip size is always an important goal in the automatic layout design of VLSI circuits. The advantages of using the routing area over the cells for interconnections to further reduce the channel width for the layout with standard cell design style is discussed. An efficient iterative algorithm for over-the-cell channel routing is presented. The execution speed of the router is significantly greater than that of previously reported units
