Abstract
In laying out electonic devices on a substrate the routing of nets is important in minimizing conductor area and improving performance. A method for routing of nets in an electonic device which has a plurality of clusters is disclosed which separates the intra cluster routing and the channel routing between the clusters. For the intra cluster routing a topological graph is proposed to be used for mapping a subgraph which is representative of the nodes in a net belonging to a cluster to be routed.
