Abstract:
1. A method for automated interconnect and routing customization, the method comprising the steps of: a computer identifying a segment routing track located in a first section of a second metal layer that includes an alpha routing track, wherein the segment routing track is segregated from the alpha routing track by a first blockage, and wherein the second metal layer is adjacent to a first metal layer that includes a first component that terminates within the first metal layer; the computer removing the segment routing track from the first section of the second metal layer; the computer adding a first routing track to the second metal layer along at least a portion of a periphery of the first section, such that the first routing track is not in contact with the alpha routing track and such that at least a portion of the first routing track is substantially parallel to at least a portion of the alpha routing track; the computer identifying the first component outside a region of contact of the first routing track; the computer adding a second routing track to the second metal layer such that the first component is within the region of contact of the second routing track; and the computer adding a connection between the second metal layer and a routing terminus.
