1. A method for generating slits in a power bus located on a chip, comprising the steps of:

  • (1) locating a bus;

    (2) determining a width for said bus;

    (3) determining a length for said bus;

    (4) dividing said width by a maximum width of the power slits plus a first spacing distance between the power slits, resulting in a first number indicating how many power slit(s) to generate in a width direction of said bus;

    (5) dividing said length by a minimum length of the power slits plus a second spacing distance between the power slits, resulting in a second value indicating how many power slit(s) to generate in a length direction of said bus; and

    (6) generating a plurality of power slits according to steps (4) and (5) on said bus utilizing said first and second spacing distance between the power slits in said width and said length directions of said bus, respectively.
