    The importance of technology retargeting for hard IPs is getting increased. However, recent advances in process technologies make layout reuse too complicated to be done by conventional compactors. As an efficient approach, this paper proposes a flexible layout abstraction model and a new layout synthesis algorithm. The synthesis algorithm provides a concurrent procedure of detailed wiring, compaction, and transistor layout generation by using a scan line to get better layout results than conventional compactors. We have applied this method to the technology retargeting of actual cell layouts and have achieved quite good results comparable to hand-crafted designs.
