Summary :

We propose a transistor placement algorithm to generate standard cell layout in a two-dimensional placement style. The algorithm optimizes the one-dimensional placement in the first stage, folds the large transistors in the second stage, and optimizes the two-dimensional placement in the final stage. We also propose "cost function" based on wiring length, which closely match the cell optimization. This transistor placement algorithm has been applied to several standard cells, and demonstrated the capability to generate a two-dimensional placement that is comparable to manually designed placement.
