Abstract
A method to place repeaters on existing structured routes based on user specified locations. Location can be specified in multiple ways. For example, a set of fixed repeating distances (starting from a driver), number of repeaters (spread evenly on net routing), an absolute cutline dissecting the existing nets routing (e.g., x or y coordinate measure from the origin of the cell), relative cutline dissecting the existing nets routing (e.g., x or y coordinate measured from the origin of the nets bounding box), etc. can specify location. A repeater legalization procedure allows a user to arrange repeaters in various forms thus legalizing them to meet specific design requirements. A preview mode is provided where results are presented in the form of annotations (e.g., cartoon drawings) displayed on a canvas (e.g., display screen) rather than in the form of real layout objects in a database.
