Abstract
A circuit includes a clock routing network. The clock routing network includes first and second clock paths. The first clock path routes a first clock signal to sub-circuits in the circuit. The first clock path has first buffers that buffer the first clock signal at the sub-circuits and first conductors in a first conductive layer of the circuit that transmit the first clock signal. The second clock path routes a second clock signal to the sub-circuits. The second clock path has second buffers that buffer the second clock signal at the sub-circuits, second conductors in the first conductive layer that transmit the second clock signal, and third conductors in a second conductive layer of the circuit. The second clock signal is routed through the third conductors at overlaps between the first clock path and the second clock path.
