Abstract
A method for generating mask data includes receiving a set of routing definitions that enable conductor routing schemes having the same cell pitch, identifying locations in response to a characteristic of the set, presenting a representation of a portion of the mask data and applying a select member of the set of routing definitions to locate and size conductors modeled in the mask data. A design tool includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores routing definitions that enable conductor routing schemes having the same cell pitch. The processor receives an input identifying a select routing definition from the set of routing definitions. The processor executes logic that generates an array of points responsive to a characteristic of the routing definitions. The processor further executes logic configured to constrain the relative location and width of conductors in the integrated circuit.
