Efficient analog layout prototyping by layout reuse with routing preservation

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for routing preservation is presented. The method includes decomposing, using the computer, a geometric relationship between a first module, a second module, and a routing path of a source layout, when the computer is invoked to route the solution path. The method further includes disposing, using the computer, the routing path in a solution layout in accordance with the geometric relationship. The solution layout is not defined by a scaling of the source layout.
