What is Placement in VLSI Physical Design?

This video provides a comprehensive discussion on various aspects of placement in VLSI physical design, an essential step in the design flow. We begin by outlining the overall design flow and delve into the objectives and challenges associated with the placement process. The video explores different types of placement techniques, including global placement and optimization strategies, to achieve efficient designs. It also covers advanced methods like min-cut placement, analytic placement, and simulated annealing, explained across multiple detailed segments. Furthermore, modern placement strategies are highlighted, followed by an in-depth explanation of the critical steps of legalization and detailed placement to ensure design correctness and compliance.
