Subtleties of advanced fabrication processes and nano-scale phenomena associated with integrated circuit miniaturization have exposed the insufficiencies of design rules. Such inadequacies have adverse impact on all parts of the integrated circuit creation flow where design rules are used. In addition, segregation of the various layout data modification steps required for deep sub-micrometer manufacturing are resulting in slack and inefficiencies. This invention describes methods to improve integrated circuit creation via the use of a unified model of fabrication processes and circuit elements that can complement or replace design rules. By capturing the interdependence among fabrication processes and circuit elements, the unified model enables efficient layout generation, resulting in better integrated circuits.

An escape outline is provided to automatically identify escape traces of a breakout. Further, the escape outline can be used to associate desired properties with the identified escape traces and allows special behavior of the automatic and interactive routing routines that operate on the escapes. Still further, an escape outline may be employed to improve the creation of escape traces by automatic routing tools. The use of pseudo-pins for netline optimization also is provided. Breakouts in a printed circuit board design are analyzed, and their respective endpoints are identified. These endpoints are then employed in a netline optimization analysis instead of the pins from which the breakouts originate. In this manner, the endpoints of the breakout are used as pseudo-pins to substitute for the actual pins of a component. Because the netline optimization will then be predicated upon the breakout endpoints rather that the originating pins, the pin configuration will be revised to simplify routing to the breakouts.
