I have a BIG design with so many single vias.. I had a script that adds redundant vias when possible such that add vias doesn't violate DRC (MT spacing and ENC)
Nevertheless, there're regions that couldn't be fixed, surrounded by a close metal lines (Mx, Mx+1 or both) that is followed by next lines far from it. Therefore, if these nearby metal lines was manually shifted, it's possible to fix those single vias.
The question is: from conceptual point of view; how to identify regions where possible metal shift could be made (where there's enough room to shift) to fix vias? Knowing that both Mx and Mx+1 should be considered (it could be easy if you're caring only about Mx)
Any ideas?
