Abstract
A method is disclosed including: generating, based on design information for an integrated circuit, a circuit design that includes an initial power delivery network (PDN) for the integrated circuit; performing a pre-layout simulation to the circuit design that includes the initial power delivery network, to determine whether the circuit design meets a predetermined specification; and when the circuit design meets the predetermined specification, generating a power delivery network layout of the integrated circuit, and generating, after the power delivery network layout is generated, a circuit layout of the integrated circuit.
