Typical Overflow ?

archive

Hi,

I just wonder how much is the typical horizontal and vertical overflow so that the design be routable. I think this should depend on the number of metal layers in the design, I am using 6 metal layers in my design.

Thanks,

Houman

  • Hi,

    The number also depend on if you are using higheffort with trialRoute. In my design I always has to use highEffort, or else trialRoute will always think there are congestion and start to detour and as a result timing closure with trialRoute become difficult.

    I think it is always good to run a nanoroute early. This will give you an idea of the congestion. trialRoute has so many option and when trialRoute show congestion it may be you did not use one of the option....
