Abstract
A method and apparatus for connecting wiring patterns of an integrated circuit device. A wiring pattern of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first line for conducting a first potential and a second line for conducting a second potential. The method detects a portion of a distal end of the first line that overlaps a distal end of the second line and generates an avoidance pattern by eliminating the overlapping portion from the first line.
