Overview

A full physical design pass on a top-level chip — floorplan, macro placement, CTS and routing — tuned across multiple iterations to improve QoR and congestion. Closes with positive timing slack and a connectivity-clean layout.

Highlights

  • Full RTL-to-GDSII PD flow in Cadence Innovus and Genus, including floorplan, macro placement, CTS, routing and timing analysis.
  • TCL-driven automation with congestion optimization and multiple implementation iterations to improve QoR.
  • Achieved positive timing closure, zero DRC violations, and a connectivity-clean routed layout with full QoR reports.
