Method to cure antenna violations in clock network using jumpers

A system comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations for curing antenna violations on an integrated circuit that includes multiple levels comprising:
• obtaining a design of a circuit, the design including multiple levels including a first level and a second level, a first element at the first level connected to a first device and a second element located on the second level connected to one or more second devices, wherein the first and second elements both receive a common clock signal, wherein the first device can discharge a first amount of a plasma induced charge and the one or more second device can discharge a second amount of plasma induced charge that is greater than the first amount;
• determining that an antenna violation exists on the first level at the first element;
• and
• modifying the design of the circuit to add a diode-less jumper connection between the first element and the second element so that the first device can discharge charge through the second device and cure the clock violation;
• wherein the second level is below the first level.
