Patent ID: 8006208

Claim:
A computer-implemented routing method that reduces coupling between wires of an electronic circuit, said method comprises: classifying, by a computing device, sets of nets representing wires of said electronic circuit according to their coupling characteristics; and choosing, by said computing device, spacing between wires assigned to the sets of nets according to the coupling characteristics; applying, by said computing device, a first distance rule between a first wire and a second wire, which said second wire is adjacent to said first wire, unless: said first wire is a victim set wire type and said second wire is one of an aggressor set wire type and a victim aggressor set wire type, wherein a second distance rule is applied, or said first wire is an aggressor set wire type and said second wire is one of a victim set wire type and a victim aggressor set wire type, wherein said second distance rule is applied, or said first wire is a victim-aggressor set wire type and said second wire is one of a victim set wire type, an aggressor set wire type and a victim-aggressor set wire type, wherein said second distance rule is applied.
