摘要: A router based on a tile-expansion algorithm and corner stitching data structure is presented. This program finds connections with minimum number of jogs it ensures that possible solution will be found. Using working tree, allows an exhaustive recursive search along all available areas for routing. The are made going back through the tree until starting terminal reached. There two Manhattan layers user can choose each direction to implement connections; used wire hierarchical blocks using chip planning methodology. has been successfully tested examples concerning different classes problems.
