Abstract:
In some embodiments, an initial circuit arrangement is provided. The initial circuit arrangement includes cells that include default-rule lines and non-default-rule lines. Line widths of the default-rule lines are selectively increased for a first cell in the initial circuit arrangement, thereby providing a first modified circuit arrangement. A first maximum capacitance value is calculated for the first cell of the first modified circuit arrangement. A second modified circuit arrangement is provided by selectively increasing line widths of the non-default-rule lines in the first modified circuit arrangement. A second maximum capacitance value is calculated for the first cell of the second modified circuit arrangement. A line width of a first non-default-rule line is selectively reduced based on whether the first maximum capacitance value adheres to a predetermined relationship with the second maximum capacitance value. The second modified circuit arrangement is manufactured on a semiconductor substrate.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein the line widths are increased for only some of the plurality of clock lines while line widths for other of the plurality of clock lines and line widths for the plurality of non-clock lines remain un-changed.
