• 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 />
