Computer-aided design of VLSI circuit is usually carried out in three synthesis steps; high-level synthesis and layout synthesis. Each synthesis step is further broken into a few optimization problems. In this paper we study the area minimization problem in floorplanning(also known as the floorplan sizing problem). We propose the area minimization algorithms for floorplans.
