A Rerouting Scheme for Single-Layer Printed Wiring Boards

A rerouting scheme is described, which is incorporated into an existing automatic routing system for single-layer printed wiring boards (PWB's) and hybrid integrated circuits. This scheme is to strip and reroute portions of the current wire patterns so that not only incomplete from-to's can be interconnected by means of getting rid of blockages, but those conductor paths so far determined which form unnecessarily long detours can be improved. Several implementation results are also shown.
