摘要:
A design verification apparatus for a semiconductor device includes: a storage for storing layout information of the semiconductor device, the layout information including information of interconnection regions and a via regions; and a controller for dividing the interconnection regions into wire regions and cross regions, the cross regions corresponding to the via regions, respectively, the wire regions extending between the cross regions, respectively, and extracting at least one of the wire regions as a candidate having a potential risk of future disconnection defect on the basis of the length of the wire regions.
摘要:
A simulation method to be implemented in a computer causes the computer to execute a procedure carrying out a weighting with respect to layout parameters of a circuit, which is an analyzing target, based on priority information of cells forming the circuit, and converting the weighted layout parameters into physical characteristics and storing the physical characteristics in a memory part, a procedure converting the physical characteristic read from the memory part into circuit parameters and storing the circuit parameters into the memory part, and analyzing the circuit based on a net list including the circuit parameters read from the memory part.
