16th Conference on Advanced Research in VLSI (ARVLSI'95) Recursive layout generation Chapel Hill, North Carolina March 27-March 29 ISBN: 0-8186-7047-9
We present a recursive method for generating layout for VLSI chips based on integrating layout directives in the netlist description. The method allows seamless integration of hand-drawn and synthesized layout, so that hand layout need only be used where the increase in density is justified. Layout is generated automatically with predictable results; small changes in the source result in small changes of the overall layout. The system is versatile enough to build dense BiCMOS VLSI microprocessor chips automatically.
