Abstract

An integrated circuit physical design wiring and optimization method includes, in a first physical design wiring process, performing physical design wiring with a weight of each of one or more signal lines set to a first weight and a weight of a clock line set to a second weight, extracting a violation signal line with a time sequence violation during the first physical design wiring process, and in a second physical design wiring process, reperforming physical design wiring on the violation signal line, a remaining signal line other than the violation signal line, and the clock line with the weight of the violation signal line set to a third weight greater than the first weight. The first weight is less than or equal to the second weight.
