Does anyone happen to have a link to a paper or book describing the state of the art in placement and routing algorithms? I'd like to read up on that topic.

These two books might be useful,

1) https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/electronic-design-autom... 2) https://www.crcpress.com/Electronic-Design-Automation-for-IC...

On the first book, see chapter 10 - 12 (on floorplanning, placement, and routing). End of chapter 11 points you to some literature survey as well. But the book itself is somewhat dated (published in 2009)

I haven't read the second book but it's much more recent (published in 2018), it also has chapters on placement, and routing.

This is a really interesting paper on using RL for device placement - https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub46646.
