In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

Combining pattern matching with traditional design and verification tools enables design and verification engineers to use an automated process to find areas of interest, then make design ...

Verification based on pattern matching not only makes it easier to express the design rules, but the whole physical verification definition process also gets simpler and moves ...

Shift-left verification: Catching issues early with pattern matching Many existing verification approaches rely on manual measurements and custom design rule checks that are time consuming to ...

This paper describes a novel approach in which the dummy patterns can be easily customized and controlled from a design entry system, and used to drive a Tcl-programmable Calibre SmartFill engine to ...
