Abstract

In recent PCB systems, the routing for high speed board is still achieved manually. As IC technology advances rapidly, the dimensions of packages and PCBs are decreasing while the pin counts and routing layers keep increasing. In this research, a parallel routing method for fixed pins using virtual boundary is proposed, which partitions the routing area into several sub-areas and routes them separately. Applying this proposed method, the wire length can be reduced. Moreover, considering the length-matching constraints, especially for the isometric wires routing problems, the proposed method can get better wire shape resemblance.
