Automatically determining a skeleton line and airbridges of coplanar waveguide

An airbridge arrangement apparatus for a chip layout, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• obtain location information of n points defining routing of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to be arranged in the chip layout, n being an integer greater than 1;
• automatically determine a skeleton line of the CPW according to the location information of the n points and according to the chip layout, the skeleton line of the CPW being a center line of a center conductor of the CPW;
• and
• automatically arrange airbridges on the chip layout according to the skeleton line of the CPW.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, which, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform an airbridge arrangement method for a chip layout, the method comprising:

• obtaining location information of n points defining routing of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to be arranged in the chip layout, n being an integer greater than 1;
• automatically determining a skeleton line of the CPW according to the location information of the n points and according to the chip layout, the skeleton line of the CPW being a center line of a center conductor of the CPW;
• and
• automatically arranging airbridges on the chip layout according to the skeleton line of the CPW.
