Abstract :
The authors present a new detailed router which was developed as part of a sea-of-gates layout project. It routes nets on two or more layers in a given rectangular or rectilinear region which may contain blockages and interior terminals in addition to terminals on the boundary. It uses a set of templates to perform routing and incorporates several novel features that address sea-of-gates routing issues. The router is very fast, memory efficient and yields excellent results
