Abstract

A computer readable medium, system and associated method is provided for designing an integrated circuit with inserted loops. The method comprises the steps of inserting a loop with tagged wire segments and/or vias in a fully routed and DCR clean integrated circuit; performing a DRC; and fixing DRC violations by removing tagged wire segments and/or vias which contribute to a violation.
