Abstract :
A new channel routing algorithm called DTR (Defect-Tolerant Routing) is investigated. This algorithm minimizes the total area and simultaneously maximizes the performance by reducing the critical area which can potentially be the source of logical faults caused by the bridging effects of spot defects. Experimental results show DTR produces less critical area than Yoshimura & Kuh´s algorithm [1].
