• Abstract:<br />

Generating Abstracts<br />

– The Abstract Generator adjusts the pin shapes created during the<br />

extract step to create the final shapes required by the place-androute<br />

tools. It then fractures these pin shapes into rectangles.<br />

– Next, the Abstract Generator applies a layer blockage model<br />

selected by the user to create the final blockage geometry in the<br />

abstract. The blockage geometry is then fractured into rectangles.<br />

– It then removes from the abstract all layers other than those with<br />

purpose pin, blockage, or boundary, and deletes the instance<br />

hierarchy. At this stage all the required geometry is at the top level<br />

of the abstract.<br />

– The Abstract Generator then annotates grid lines onto the abstract<br />

view and calculates grid pitches if these are not already present. It<br />

adjusts the placeand-route boundary to be a multiple of the grid<br />

pitches.<br />
