Abstract
Various embodiments provide for routing a circuit design using routing congestion based on fractional via cost, via density, or both in view of one or more design rules. For instance, some embodiments model via cost based on one or more design rules to determine routing congestion, where routing demand (e.g., routing capacity occupied by) of a via is fractional to the amount of the track blocked by the via. Additionally, some embodiments apply via density modeling based on one or more design rules to determine a routing demand of a via for routing congestion.
