MICROFLUIDICS PLANAR PLACEMENT AND ROUTING ALGORITHM

摘要

A method of developing a physical design layout of microfluidic system chip can include receiving a planarized graph of a netlist including vertices representing microfluidic components. The vertices can be expanded into components, where each component includes a first dimension and a second dimension. The components can be shifted to a position where the first and second dimension of each component do not overlap with the first dimension and the second dimension of any other component. A flow route can be determined based on the first and second dimension of each component and the position of each component, the flow route including channels connecting two or more of the components.
