Abstract
A method for binning and layout of an integrated circuit design which includes providing a table setting forth predefined widths of signal wires and corresponding spacing to shield wires, characterizing effects on timing, noise, and power distribution based on predefined widths and spacing combinations as functions of the length of the signal wire, and laying out the integrated circuit design based upon the predefined widths of signal wires and corresponding spacing to shield wires. The shield wires are adjacent and on both sides of the routed signal wire.
