We proposed a mixed algorithm by combining ant colonies and Tabu search algorithm for improving net routing in VLSI design.
We investigated the different structure such as two-terminal, multiple-terminal, multi-layers and gridless net routing in VLSI physical design.
We detected the proper parameters matching for the new mixed algorithm implement.
We detected the property and efficiency of the new mixed algorithm.
It implies a potential method for very large-scale integration (VLSI) physical design.
