With methods for developing an electronic component, in which a layout is executed for a component and a file is also generated with timing information, the present invention avoids the superfluous net list changes by providing the following steps: a) Executing an initial timing analysis using the file to identify violations of timing requirements; b) Producing the chip in accordance with the current layout, if no timing violations were detected, otherwise c) Saving information about violations of the timing requirements identified in at least one patch list; d) Changing the file in accordance with the violation information in the patch list; e) Executing the timing analysis again using the modified file; f) Iteration of Steps c), d) and e), if a new timing violation was established; g) When no more timing violations are established, executing a layout adaptation step and generating a new file containing runtime information based on the adapted layout; and h) Returning to Step a) and executing the step.
