  1. Practical flow of the design? 2. How analog macro is placed? 3. Explain the power plan structure in your design? 4. What is the routing blockage for analog macro? 5. What are the checks after the floorplan? 6. What are the steps in the placement stage? 7. What is the block size, utilization, target skew, WNS of your design? 8. What are the corners in your design? 9. What are the corners considered in the placement stage? why? 10. What are the corners considered in the CTS stage? why? 11. What are the causes for congestion. And how to fix it? 12. What could be the reason for congestion, if there is neither cell density nor pin density and also, there is no much communication between nearest macro and std cells as well? 13. How to fix setup and hold issues? 14. Give the order of priority among various setup fixing methods? And reasons for them? 15. How tran Violation will affect the setup? 16. In case, there are 10000 setup violations in the placement stage, what could be the is...
