Abstract
The invention provides a method of placement and routing for an array device in an integrated circuit (IC). In the method, a schematic script file used to describe placement for the array device is created according to a netlist and an array structure specification. The schematic script file is loaded into an auto P&R tool. The auto P&R tool is executed for completely routing the array device. After routing, an RC extraction can be directly implemented. Thus, product development time is greatly shortened.
