Parallel Spacing Optimization

The Parallel Spacing Optimization DFM Action solves many of the issues currently unresolved in signal layer optimization. This DFM action may dramatically reduces parallel spacing in the inner layers, resulting in increased production yield.

The Parallel Spacing Optimization action maximizes spacing between parallel conductor lines by moving lines (traces). The action identifies parallel conductor lines (busses) where the spacing between lines is less than the required minimum. The action tries to enlarge spacing between lines to the user-specified spacing distance by rerouting conductors while taking into account other features located in that area of the board. This means that no new spacing violations are produced and the original conductor functionality is preserved.

This DFM action is meant to be run on internal signal layers. It is governed by the ERF file spacing_opt.erf .
