Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for identifying topological routes in a multi-layer region of a design layout. The method selects a first net that has several routable elements. For the selected net, it then specifies a first multi-layer topological route that connects the first net's routable elements before selecting another net for routing. The first topological route traverses a plurality of layers. In addition, a topological route is a route that represents a set of diffeomorphic geometric routes.
