Title
Routing tree topology construction to meet interconnect timing constraints
Abstract
This work presents a Steiner tree construction procedure, MVERT, to meet specified sink arrival time constraints. It is shown that the optimal tree requires the use of non-Hanan points. The procedure works in two phases: a minimum-delay Steiner tree is first constructed, after which the tree is iterativ ely modified, using an efficient binary search method, to reduce its length. Experimental results show that this procedure w orks particularly well for tec hnologies where the interconnect resistance dominates, and significant cost savings are generated.
