  • Patent number: 11829698
    Abstract: A method and system for guided power grid augmentation determines a minimum resistance path for cells within an integrated circuit (IC) design. The minimum resistance path traces a conducting wire connecting a pin of a cell to an IC tap within the IC design. A voltage drop value for each of the cells is determined so as to identify target cells having a voltage drop value that satisfies a voltage drop criteria. Polygons have defined size characteristics are defined around the minimum resistance paths of the target cells, and conductors, such as additional conductors, are generated within the defined polygons.
