PROBE: A Placement, Routing, Back-End-of-Line Measurement Utility.

In advanced technology nodes, correctly choosing among available back-end-of-line (BEOL) stack options is important to meet stringent design quality of results requirements. However, it is nontrivial to evaluate BEOL stack options since the routing outcomes highly depend on the input design (e.g., netlist, placement, etc.). In this paper, we propose a systematic framework to measure routing capaci...
