Abstract
A method of generating an IC design comprises the steps of generating an intermediate routing result to define interconnects between functional blocks on an IC. The next step is defining one or more repeater ranches in an interstice of the IC and generating a repeater placement plan for placement of repeater elements according to the repeater ranch boundary constraints. The process continues with the step of generating a final routing result to define interconnects between functional blocks that interconnect the repeater elements according to the repeater placement plan.
