Abstract

A segment-crossing graph model is introduced, and a heuristic algorithm is proposed on the basis of this graph model. The algorithm is divided into two steps: Global Minimization and Local Minimization. In addition, practical considerations such as restricted terminals and adjacent limitations are addressed. The algorithm is evaluated by some routing examples using five layers. The results show that 45% of vias minimized are obtained on an average.
