Abstract(in English) This paper addresses the challenges posed by tight horizontal routing capacity in critical layers of chip design. A Generalized Channel Routing Problem (GCRP) is introduced, treating the critical layer as a generalized channel with predefined horizontal tracks. The objective is to efficiently connect all pins of a net by a Single Trunk Steiner Tree in the generalized channel while minimizing vertical congestion. The proposed model accommodates the unique characteristics of modern advanced chips. This paper contributes by formulating the GCRP and presenting a problem-centric perspective on-chip routing, emphasizing the importance of efficient use of critical routing layers.
