In most design companies, the chip-level physical implementation teams responsible for design floorplanning in place and route (P&R) environments also manage top-level physical verification from the ...

We propose a new methodology flow which will allow the visual definition of a complex SoC through instantiation of parametric IP such as processors, SDRAM controllers, DMA engines, on-chip buses, ...

Escalating design size and complexity, more complex design-rule checks (DRCs), higher DRC rule count and increasing design-for-manufacturability (DFM) challenges are causing the physical verification ...

As Moore’s Law drives semiconductor manufacturers to deliver a consistent doubling of transistor counts every two years, the number of rules in the DRM (design rule manual) for advanced processes has ...
