arXiv:2611.14928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid bonding terminal (HBT) legalization assigns every terminal of a face-to-face 3D IC to its own pitch-grid site with minimum total Manhattan displacement. Open3DBench reports that a reinforcement-learning (RL) legalizer reduces displacement by 19-22% relative to a sliding-window (SW) heuristic, but none of its legalizers is publicly released. We ask how much displacement any legalizer can still recover. We build an open benchmark of 21 design/pitch instances from Open3DBench placement data, with reconstructed greedy, SW (ViaLegal-style) and BTAssign-style baselines, and GEO-Exact, an exact solver that runs successive shortest augmenting paths over lazily generated spatial candidate edges.
