Abstract
Methods, systems and program products are disclosed that prioritize each target via for via redundancy based on at least one of the following: subnet timing information, a distance of a target via along a path from a driving source and a target via net/subnet characteristic, and attempt to add a redundant via to each target via based on the prioritization. The invention improves overall yield and reduces timing sensitivity to AC-related defects.
