Abstract

See full text

A technique for integrated circuit floorplanning using irregularly shaped dies (e.g., triangular, elongated rectangular, parallelogram-shaped, etc.) is described whereby the layout of the integrated circuit die is accomplished by partitioning (slicing) the die into progressively smaller groups of more than two areas into which functions (active elements, or circuits) are assigned according to their area requirements. The die is iteratively sub-partitioned.
