An ECO hold time fixing method fulfills a short path padding in a placed and routed design by a minimum capacitance insertion. In the method, a padding value determination step receives the placed and routed design and is based on a cell library, timing constraints, and a timing analysis report to determine padding values and locations required for each gate of the placed and routed design to output. A load/buffer allocation step is based on a spare cell information, a dummy metal information, and the padding values and locations to achieve the short path padding in the placed and routed design.

A method for analog placement and global routing considering wiring symmetry performs a layout for a circuit which is described by a netlist having a set of devices and wires. First, the method inputs the netlist, and each device thereof has a design constraint and a corresponding priority. Based on the priorities, it performs a sorting on the devices to establish a constraint library. Then, based on the design constraint and corresponding priority of each device, the method establishes a hierarchical constraint tree. According to the hierarchical constraint tree, the method performs placement of each device, wherein possible shape of each device is represented by a shape curve. For each placement of the device, the method calculates a corresponding cost function. Then, it selects an optimum placement of the device according to the cost functions. The method establishes an RSMT for each wire and then performs an analog routing.
