Although there exist various commercial tools, memory design requires the full custom design flow to reduce the area because the place and route (P&R) functionality in the tools are not effective in the dram design flow. Furthermore, one-dimensional (1D) layout is indispensable due to the presence of peripheral regions. Inspired by the above, we propose a new framework to minimize the wire length in the standard cells 1D layout. The framework consists of the heuristic algorithm, which efficiently places standard cells to minimize the overall wire length of a 1D unit block composed of multiple standard cells and a Clustering algorithm. Through the cooperation of three algorithms, it obtains the 26.6% improved total wire length on 502 units consisting of 3 to 98 standard cells designed by human experts.๋ฉด์  ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์›จ์ดํผ๋‹น Netdie ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์„ ๋†’์ด๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ๋ฐ˜๋„์ฒด ์„ค๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋ชฉํ‘œ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ด๋‹ค.
