Abstract
A method estimates the interconnect capacitance of a first net in an integrated circuit. The first step of the method includes the generation of a value which indicates how tightly connected to one another are components connected to the first net. The second step of the method includes the prediction of interconnect capacitance of the first net based on the value generated in the first step and a number representing how many components are connected to the first net.
