• analytical placement
• minimization of overlap area
• overlap evaluation

In the recent LSI design, it is difficult to obtain a placement which satisfies both design constraints and specifications due to the increase of the circuit size, the progress of the manufacturing technology, and the speed-up of the circuit performance. Analytical placement methods are promising to obtain the placement which satisfies both design constraints and specifications. Although existing analytical placement methods obtain the placement with the short wire length, the obtained placement has overlap. In this paper, we propose Overlap Removable Area as an overlap evaluation method for an analytical placement method. Experiments show that the proposed evaluation method is effective for removing overlap in the analytical placement method.
