ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention an automated method is provided for routing and designing an LSI (Large Scale Integrated Circuit). First, at least one generic of an instance of a book to be connected is located on the chip, wherein a generic of an instance is an area defined according to the measurements of said instance. Then, an initial route to said instance is generated by optimizing the route to the corresponding generic according to given design rules. Thereby, an optimized pin location is determined for said instance. Then, on the basis of said optimized pin location a layout for said instance is generated in place of the corresponding generic. Finally, the actually generated pin is connected with the corresponding end of the initial route.
