Scan chain reordering based on physical design information helps in reducing routing bottleneck and in minimizing design constraint violations. This paper proposes integrating this capability into synthesis-based design reoptimization. It describes the benefits of such an approach, the design synthesis context, presents new ordering concepts and concludes with results on real designs.
