The Application of Vertex-disjoint Paths in VLSI

Zhenghua Xu, Jinshan Xie, Xianya Geng

Abstract



Crosstalk affects the circuit performance more and more significantly in very deep submicron(VDSM) technology. It is necessary to reduce crosstalk in the actual routing process. The crosstalk minimization problem for a set of parallel
wires is transformed into the vertex-disjoint paths problem with a constraint. We give a heuristic algorithm for the crosstalk minimization problem of a set of parallel wires and prove that it is impossible to ¯nd the better solution
by adding any k edges and deleting at most 2 edges for the vertex-disjoint paths obtained from the algorithm. In general, comparing with the bi-weight algorithm which is given by Wong and Shao, our algorithm saves the storage space of about fifty percent. We also give some bounds of edges and some algorithms of the vertex-disjoint paths based on an ear decomposition.

Keywords


Integrated circuit, routing, crosstalk minimization, the vertex- disjoint paths, an ear decomposition.
