Abstract
A method of routing interconnections of devices in a planar field by the use of a computer. The method effectively shortens the length of all interconnections, including interconnections which connect points on the same device, in accordance with design rules. Also, the layers constituting the planar field can be assigned weights to effectively minimize the appearance of interconnections in the layer having the highest assigned weight.
