摘要:
A method for inspecting the layout of elements included in a semiconductor device. The method includes setting paired layout inspection requirements including at least an element interval at which a paired layout is enabled, inspecting whether or not the elements that are to be inspected for paired layout satisfy the paired layout inspection requirements, setting a search area for each of the elements that are to be inspected for paired layout, and extracting figures included in the search areas of the elements that are to be inspected for paired layout and inspecting whether or not the extracted figures of the elements that are to be inspected for paired layout are congruent to each other.
