Patent number: 10719654Abstract: A method for processing design data for a semiconductor circuit may be provided. The design data describe a signal line and related physical characteristics. The method comprises receiving the design data for the signal line, receiving constraint data describing a blockage area, and determining a segment of the signal line that would overlap with the blockage area assuming a direct path from the source to the sink. The method comprises further determining for the segment, based on the length of the segment, whether the segment is route-able without inserting a buffer while meeting the timing constraints, and modifying, in case a segment is not route-able without inserting a buffer, the physical characteristics of the signal line. Thereby, the determining the segment, the determining whether the segment length is route-able, and the modifying the physical characteristics is performed before placing buffers in the signal line and routing the signal line.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Manuel Beck, Florian Braun, Lukas Dällenbach, Heinz Josef Hemmes, Jesse P.

Patent number: 10031996Abstract: A method is provided for facilitating an integrated circuit design layout. The method includes receiving a netlist including a plurality of subnets. For each subnet, the method also includes obtaining a Steiner net length value and related net delays in a signal path for a metal wiring layer using timings of all involved circuits of the subnet, and determining whether the net delay is smaller than a predefined value. On a negative outcome of the determination, a wire delay is ascertained for the named metal wiring layer based on a maximum buffer distance retrieved from a cycle reach table, and determining whether the ascertained wire delay is below the related net delay. On a positive outcome of the second determination, a next increased metal wire width is selected and a metal wire based wire delay for the named metal wiring layer including a buffer is ascertained.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Florian Braun, Lukas Daellenbach
