Abstract

A method for automatic wire size modification comprising the steps of routing a wire to a source; detecting a first size differential between the wire and the source by calculating a width difference between a width of the wire and a width of the source, and dividing the width difference by the width of the wire; and modifying a size of the wire if the first size differential is less than a maximum width percentage and if a length of the source is less than a length range specified by a user.

Claims (4)

1. A method for automatic wire size modification, the method comprising the following steps:

routing a wire to a source, wherein the source includes other wires, metals or vias to which the wire is routed;

detecting a first size differential between the wire and the source by calculating a width difference between a width of the wire and a width of the source, and dividing the width difference by the width of the wire; and

modifying a size of the wire if the first size differential is less than a maximum width percentage and if a length of the source is less than a length range specified by a user.
