Abstract
A routing method for wiring design including a determining step for identifying, in one of the wiring sections where no wiring path is determined as yet, the direction of the line segment which is prohibited by an obstacle and accordingly determining a wiring path. The routing method also includes a generating step for generating, on a layer opposite to the layer on which one unprocessed line segment is present and in a position having the same plane coordinates as the line segment, an obstacle which prohibits only such line segments as are parallel in direction to the line segment, on the wiring path determined by the determining step.
Claims6
A routing method for wiring design, comprising:
- a determining step of identifying, in one of the wiring sections where no wiring path is determined, the direction of the line segment which is prohibited by an obstacle and accordingly determining a wiring path of at least one line segment;
- and
- a generating step for generating, on an opposing layer to the layer on which one unprocessed line segment is present and in a position having the same plane coordinates as said unprocessed line segment, said obstacle which prohibits on said opposing layer the routing of line segments as are parallel in direction to and in opposing relation to said unprocessed line segment.
