Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit physical design, in particular to a current-driven integrated circuit automatic wiring method and device. Background technique [0002] As integrated circuits enter the nanotechnology process, the operating current of integrated circuits continues to increase, while the feature size of chips continues to decrease, so that the current flowing per unit area on the metal interconnection, that is, the current density, continues to increase, resulting in metal The phenomenon of electromigration is becoming more and more serious. Although most of the advanced integrated circuit wiring technology adopts copper technology, compared with the early aluminum technology, the use of copper technology can greatly improve the metal electromigration effect. Very serious, because the large working current and insufficient line width will lead to the occurrence of electromigration, resulting in short circuit or o...
