In [[electronic design]], '''wire routing''', commonly called simply '''routing''', is a step in the design of [[printed circuit board]]s (PCBs) and [[integrated circuit]]s (ICs). It builds on a preceding step, called [[placement (electronic design automation)|placement]], which determines the ___location of each active element of an IC or component on a PCB. After placement, the routing step adds wires needed to properly connect the placed components while obeying all [[design rules]] for the IC. Together, the placement and routing steps of IC design are known as [[place and route]].
