Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...
As design nodes drop below 45nm, design rules are exploding in number and complexity, making design rule checking (DRC) harder and lengthier. What we have observed across the industry is that the ...

While automated pattern matching is widely used in the digital IC physical verification process, adoption in the analog space has been much slower. In fact, the very nature of customized analog ...
How often have you struggled to verify static random-access memory (SRAM) blocks in your design? And how often, no matter how much time you spend on them, do they end up causing manufacturing issues?
