In this thesis, we propose a maze-routing-based clock tree routing algorithm integrated with buffer insertion, buffer sizing, and topology generation that is able to consider general buffer insertion locations. While previous work on buffered clock tree synthesis restricts potential buffer locations on merge nodes in the clock tree topology, our proposed algorithm has more freedom and thus achieves more robust slew control. Buffer insertion along routing paths had been mostly avoided previously due to the difficulty of maintaining a low skew under such aggressive buffer insertion. We developed an accurate timing analysis engine for delay and slew estimations and a balanced routing scheme for better skew reduction during clock tree synthesis...
