Abstract
A method, system and program product for designing an integrated circuit (IC) for signal integrity. The invention conducts a signal integrity analysis on an IC design; identifies any field effect transistor (FET) that causes a signal integrity failure in the case that the IC design fails the signal integrity analysis; and modifies an edge of a failing FET that is closer than a threshold distance to a well edge. The invention eliminates the manual, iterative procedure for determining the device causing a signal integrity failure due to well proximity effects.
