Non-Rectangle DIEAREA support
matanco1 opened this issue · comments
Hi,
As it seems the placer isn't supporting non-rectangle DIEAREA as the cells gets out of the boundary of the DIEAREA.
Do you have any cases with non-rectangle DIEAREA to share? We can see whether it is easy to support this.

Sure, you can just set the DIEAREA as a set of coordinates, here's an example:
DIEAREA ( 1680000 1010000 ) ( 110000 1010000 )
( 110000 2200000 ) ( 0 2200000 )
( 0 0 ) ( 1680000 0 ) ;
It'll create an L shape:

Thanks. How will the ROWs be defined? Are they sure to be inside the rectilinear region defined by the DIEAREA?

Actually, I can't tell, as I'm using cadence's Innovus to extract the DEF and I don't know the behavior of the tool. I'll try and check it out!

After checking - yes, they are sure to be inside the rectilinear region defined by the DIEAREA!
Thank you for the information. I will think about how to add this feature.
