Abstract
A computerized method, data processing system and computer program product reduce noise for a buffered design of an electronic circuit which was already placed and routed. For all areas between a power stripe and a ground stripe (half bay) in the design, the shapes are divided in different criticality levels. The shapes are rearranged based on their criticality level such that shapes with higher criticality level are placed closer to the stripes than those with lower criticality level.
