This research is situated in the design of integrated circuits (ICs). ICs are virtually everywhere. They are physical implementations of digital circuits that perform some logical functionality. The steps involved in IC design are twofold. First in the Logic Synthesis step, an abstract representation of the logic functionality is designed in the form of a graph called a netlist. Second, this netlist needs to be further developed into a physically realizable model in a step called Physical Design (Placement and Routing). ICs consist of two main components: logic cells and interconnects. Logic cells are responsible for the data manipulation and interconnects transport the data between the logic cells. Both logic cells and interconnects amount...
