Topological channel routing

Abstract
An approach to two-layer channel routing using a layout model which utilizes the channel area more efficiently than the traditional layout model is presented. The model allows horizontal and vertical wire segments to be placed on both layers while avoiding the crosstalk problem. In order to have as many nets without vias as possible, the crossing relationship among the nets is determined before they are mapped onto a channel. Preliminary experimental results are very encouraging.
