  • Enforcing simulation-based physical design rules to optimize circuit layout
    Patent number: 12182489
    Abstract: A method for enforcing design rules in a circuit layout may include providing a circuit schematic for an integrated circuit to a circuit simulator, wherein the circuit layout is derived from a circuit schematic, using the circuit simulator to simulate the circuit schematic and generate simulated electrical parameters for the integrated circuit, and using the simulated electrical parameters to enforce physical design rules when generating the circuit layout based on the simulated electrical parameters.
    Type: Grant
