Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for placing electric circuits in integrated circuit chip design. Specifically, the invention encompasses performing a global placement step placing the cells into bins on the chip, as well as a detailed placement process which arranges the cells in the bins to obtain a legal arrangement while generating simply connected free space for routing channels.
