Abstract

See full text

Automatic routing device which automatically conducts placement and routing of integrated circuits on an integrated circuit chip, including a wire capacitance calculating unit, a degree of wire congestion calculating unit and a routing checking unit for determining whether routing of a desired net is possible or not based on a degree of wire congestion at each global routing cell boundary formed by the division of a logic circuit chip to be processed into global routing cells, and a number of grids calculating units, a grid use rate calculating unit and a grid use rate checking unit for determining whether routing of a desired net is possible or not based on a state of the use of a routing track grid in each global routing cell formed on the logic circuit chip.
