  • Abstract
    We consider the problem of joining a row of compacted cells so as to minimize the area occupied by the cells and the interconnects. The cell joining process includes cell stretching and river routing. We propose several heuristics to join a row of cells in such a way that area is minimized. The proposed heuristics are compared, experimentally with that proposed by Cheng and Despain (1989)
