  ABSTRACT: Designs including tens of millions of standard cells in one chip are commonly used in current IC projects, so finding optimal location on a chip surface for each logic cell is a very important step in IC design. Apart from finding room for logic cell placement with minimum chip area, length of connecting wires is also playing big role and needs to be taken under control. In this paper, research and implementation of standard cell placement-optimizations’ quadratic algorithm is described. Main research is on runtime and wire length. For 5K standard cells, algorithm implementation takes 83 second.
