Abstract:

Legalization holds significant importance in VLSI physical design, as it significantly influences the manufacturability and reliability of circuits. Recently, advanced foundry nodes introduced complex constraints in standard-cell legalization, which makes legalization even harder. In this paper, we develop a legalization framework with design rule constraints enhanced by Monte-Carlo-Based cell priority optimization. We first handle abnormal density distribution to reduce the subsequent legalization's hardness. Then, we propose an interval-assisted sequential legalization algorithm considering multiple design rule constraints with a Monte-Carlo-Based cell priority decision technique. Besides, based on the characteristics and complexity of different design rule constraints, we present a refinement phase to handle the remaining design rule constraints with corresponding detectors. Compared with a leading commercial tool, experiments on industrial benchmarks show that our legalization framework achieves 11% smaller average displacement, 15% smaller maximum displacement, 1.63× speedup, and 13% fewer remaining design rule violations on average. © 2025 IEEE.
