A method for routing a net on an integrated circuit device, said method comprising the steps of creating a list of basis elements of the net, said basis elements being defined by a predetermined size limitation, determining a complexity value for each basis element as a function of the distance between pins in the basis element, forming a hypertree for the net as a function of complexity values of basis elements so determined, and routing the net as a function of the hypertree.
