Abstract: A process for performing a design rule check (DRC) by a computer may comprise receiving a DRC result comprising a plurality of DRC errors, the DRC result corresponding to a DRC deck comprising a plurality of rules and a design layout database comprising a plurality of components; classifying, using a neural network, each of the plurality of DRC errors according to whether that DRC should be ignored; and producing a final report including a plurality of respective indications of whether the plurality of DRC errors should be ignored. Performing the process may further include the receiving mistake feedback regarding the final report; updating, using the mistake feedback, a DRC result dataset comprising a plurality of dataset entries; and re-training the neural network using the updated DRC result dataset.
