TLDR
This paper shows that the crosstalk minimization problem in the reserved two-layer Manhattan routing model is NP-complete, even for the channels without any vertical constraints, and proposes simple and efficient polynomial time heuristic algorithms that reduce crosStalk more than 35% on average on a given routing solution of minimum area.
Abstract
As fabrication technology advances, devices and interconnection wires are placed in closer proximity and circuits operate at higher frequencies This results in crosstalk between wire segments Work on routing channels with reduced crosstalk is a very important area of current research In this paper we show that the crosstalk minimization problem in the reserved two-layer Manhattan routing model is NP-complete, even for the channels without any vertical constraints Since minimizing crosstalk is NP-complete, we propose simple and efficient polynomial time heuristic algorithms that reduce crosstalk more than 35% on average on a given routing solution of minimum area

Algorithms for Reducing Crosstalk in Two-Layer Channel Routing

TL;DR: This paper has developed heuristic algorithms for computing reduced crosstalk two-layer channel routing solutions for simplest as well as general channel instances and the results obtained are highly encouraging.

Two Algorithms for Minimizing Crosstalk in Two-Layer Channel Routing

TL;DR: Performance of the algorithms is encouraging enough for most of the existing benchmark channels, and reduction in crosstalk for these channels is up to 28.34% for a given routing solution.

A Review on Crosstalk Avoidance and Minimization in VLSI Systems

TL;DR: This paper has reviewed the effects and impact that crosstalk has on the performance and reliability of VLSI circuits and systems, and presented a concise but informative review on the various methods that researchers worldwide are implementing for a priori c Crosstalk avoidance or a posteriori crosStalk minimization in V LSI systems from the point of view of fabrication over the past few decades.

Hardness of crosstalk minimization in two-layer channel routing

TL;DR: It has been shown that the crosstalk minimization problem in the reserved two-layer Manhattan routing model is NP-complete, even if channels are free from all vertical constraints, and that all results hold even if doglegging is allowed.

Minimum crosstalk channel routing

TL;DR: A new approach is proposed to the gridded channel routing problem which utilizes existing channel routing algorithms and improves upon the routing results by permuting the routing tracks.
