As VLSI technology shrinks to fewer tracks per standard cell, e.g., from 10-track to 7.5-track libraries (and lesser for 7nm), there has been a rapid increase in the usage of multiple-row cells like two- and three-row flip-flops, buffers, etc., for design closure. Additionally, the usage of multi-bit flip-flops or flop trays to save power creates large cells that further complicate critical design...
To avoid producing unroutable placement solutions, many state-of-the-art routability-driven placers iteratively invoke global routers to evaluate their placement solutions, and then perform routability optimization. However, using a global router to evaluate hard-to-route placement solutions may spend considerable runtime and it cannot guarantee that a placement is truly unroutable to any router....
