Abstract
A new approach to the routing problem is presented. Since multilayer routing is provided in nearly all technologies, efficient via handling becomes very important. The proposed routing scheme manages 2 v routing layers (v ⩾1), variable wiring width, and variable size of vias. As usual, the method is composed of two steps: global and local routing. However, rectangular routing channels cover the whole chip area and contain pins within. Path calculation is based on a sub-Manhattan metric
