Validation of Diagonal Power Routing Approach in Very Large Scale Integration Design for Better Prospects over Orthogonal Routing at Nanometre Era

Abstract

This paper focuses on top metal layer routing in very large scale integration design in nanometre era, to show that the diagonal routing approach has improvised prospects than the existing orthogonal power routing approach. In this paper, the proposed diagonalised routing and orthogonal routing for an operational amplifier, and both routing techniques are incorporated with HVT swapping. In addition to this diagonal routing implementation, some parameters get affected, i.e., power, delay and length etc. This approach is meant for specific limitation of application areas in very large scale integration design.
