Abstract:This paper proposes a scheme for automatic re-distribution layer (RDL) routing, which is used in chip-package connections. Traditional RDL routing designs are mostly performed manually because the wire geometries are more flexible and therefore more difficult to handle on RDL than on chip. For example, octilinear routing is manufacturable in RDL and is widely adopted due to its higher efficiency than Manhattan routing. In this paper we devise a polynomial time octilinear RDL routing algorithm based on a grid n… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
