    摘要: A first circuit design is entered in an electronic design automation (EDA) computer system. The first circuit design includes a first feature with a first node. A marker is associated with the first node and represents a voltage associated with the first node as an algebraic expression of a numerical value representing a property of the circuit design. The marker is used to determine if the component of the circuit design violates a design rule.

    摘要: An approach is provided to generate a number of virtualized circuit designs by applying design-for-manufacturing (DFM) processes to a circuit design. The virtualized circuit designs are checked using design rule checks (DRCs), with the checking resulting in a design rule error quantity that corresponds to each of the virtualized circuit designs. One of the virtualized circuit designs is selected for use in manufacturing the circuit design with the selection based each of the design's design rule error quantities.

    摘要: A data processing system determines current information corresponding to a node included at a device design. Physical layout information corresponding to the node is received, the physical layout information including one or more layout geometries, the one or more layout geometries providing a circuit network. The circuit network may be partitioned into two or more network segments. A current conducted at a network segment is identified based on the current information. Information representative of dimensions and metal layer of a layout geometry included at the network segment is received. The computer determines that the current exceeds a predetermined maximum threshold, the predetermined maximum threshold determined based on the dimensions and metal layer.

    摘要: A technique for electromigration stress mitigation in interconnects of an integrated circuit design includes generating a maximal spanning tree of a directed graph, which represents an interconnect network of an integrated circuit design. A first point on the spanning tree having a lowest stress and a second point on the spanning tree having a highest stress are located. A maximum first stress between the first and second points is determined. In response to determining the maximum first stress between the first and second points is greater than a critical stress, a stub is added to the spanning tree at a node between the first and second points. The maximum first stress between the first and second points is re-determined subsequent to adding the stub.
