Assignee: SYNOPSYS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for interactive routing of transistor devices of an integrated circuit (IC) design, the method comprising:
receiving an integrated circuit (IC) design comprising a plurality of transistor devices;
receiving a design rule check (DRC) rules set;
routing a segment of a path associated with a first one of the plurality of transistor devices to a first position;
responsive to identifying, by a processor and based at least in part on the DRC rules set, that routing the segment beyond the first position creates a design rule violation, determining whether a force mode input has been received, wherein a force mode causes the interactive routing to bypass the DRC rules set;
responsive to determining that the force mode input has been received, enabling the routing of the segment beyond the first position; and
generating an interactive routing interface comprising a graphical indication that the routing of the segment beyond the first position is associated with the design rule violation.
