Abstract
A method determining an IC (integrated circuit) design includes: determining one or more design variables, wherein the one or more design variables include one or more device variables and one or more weights; determining one or more net lengths and one or more layout metrics from the one or more device variables and the one or more weights; and determining the IC design from the one or more device variables and the one or more net lengths. The IC design includes a schematic and a layout. The process can be repeated as needed according to performance criteria that may include circuit performance metrics and layout performance metrics.
