Abstract
A method of global connection routing includes determining a global connection tolerance of a cell for use in a circuit layout, wherein the cell comprises a plurality of pins, and a plurality of routing tracks are defined with respect to the cell. The method further includes determining a number of blocked tracks within the cell. The method further includes comparing the global connection tolerance with the number of blocked tracks. The method further includes adjusting a location of the cell within the circuit layout if the global connection tolerance and the number of blocked tracks fail to satisfy a predetermined condition.
