Method of automated repair of crosstalk violations and timing violations in an integrated circuit design

摘要

A method and computer program are disclosed for automatically repairing crosstalk violations in an integrated circuit design that include steps of: (a) receiving as input an integrated circuit design; (b) performing an initial cell placement and global routing from the integrated circuit design; (c) identifying nets having crosstalk violations according to a first set of rules from the initial cell placement and global routing; (d) performing a detailed routing that includes providing crosstalk protection for the nets identified in step (c); (e) identifying nets having crosstalk violations according to a second set of rules from the detailed routing; and (f) performing an additional detailed routing that includes providing crosstalk protection for the nets identified in step (e).
