  • Method for optimizing an integrated circuit physical layout
    Patent number: 8151234
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of optimizing an integrated circuit layout, wherein an initial integrated circuit layout is provided. A predetermined set of physical characteristics of a predetermined set of polygons of said initial circuit layout, is assessed and said physical characteristics are aggregated to derive an integral quality number associated to said initial circuit layout. According to the invention, cost functions are generated to evaluate a perturbed quality number of said perturbed layout and layout perturbations are selected that optimize the quality number, so that the circuit layout is optimized.
