Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, and program product for diagnosing an integrated circuit. In particular, the invention captures one or more images for each relevant circuit layer of the integrated circuit. Based on the image(s), a component netlist is generated. Further, a logic netlist is generated by applying hierarchical composition rules to the component netlist. The component netlist and/or logic netlist can be compared to a reference netlist to diagnose the integrated circuit. The invention can further generate a schematic based on the component netlist or logic netlist in which components are arranged according to port, power, and/or component pin connection information determined from the netlist. Further, the schematic can be displayed in a manner that wiring connections are selectively displayed to assist a user in intelligently arranging the circuit components.

Abstract: A method, system and program product for designing an integrated circuit (IC) for signal integrity. The invention conducts a signal integrity analysis on an IC design; identifies any field effect transistor (FET) that causes a signal integrity failure in the case that the IC design fails the signal integrity analysis; and modifies an edge of a failing FET that is closer than a threshold distance to a well edge. The invention eliminates the manual, iterative procedure for determining the device causing a signal integrity failure due to well proximity effects.
