Systems and methods for identifying wires for adjustment

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for identifying a wire of a plurality of wires to be adjusted to mitigate effects of electromigration. A segment electromigration stress value for each segment of a wire is determined for a wire of a circuit in a circuit design. A wire electromigration stress value for the wire is determined as a function of the segment electromigration stress values of segments of the wire. A ranked list of two or more wires of the circuit is displayed according the wire electromigration stress values of the two or more wires.
