Why Gridless and Crosstalk- Driven Router ? � Crosstalk induced by adjacent wires increases the coupling capacitance and delay of the wires. � In modern designs, variable-width and variable-space routing is commonly used for the purpose of crosstalk and delay optimization � Gridless routers are more flexible for variable-rule routing than grid-based routers 3
