Abstract

As process technology continue to advance, the operating environment for routing tools has changed significantly. While the general concept of routing and techniques employed remain the same,the complexities and challenges that modern-day routers face are not well understood or addressed by the research community. In this paper, we will examine a handful of interesting nanometer effects that have significant impact on the behavior of routers, and discuss several opportunities in which routers can play a more important role in improving the manufacturability of nanometer designs.
