Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for designing an integrated circuit (IC). Some embodiments explicitly represent wide-gates as distinct objects in an IC design data model. One or more IC design representations that are used in an IC design flow may natively support such wide-gate objects. These new objects can enable rapid access and preservation of wide-gates, thereby improving the runtime and/or quality of results (QoR) of an IC design system.
