  • Edge recognition based high voltage pseudo layer verification methodology for mix signal design layout
    Patent number: 7562315
    Abstract: Validation of at least some of a proposed semiconductor design layout is disclosed. According to one or more aspects of the present invention, a first voltage dependent design rule is applied to an edge of an area of the layout if the edge is not covered by a pseudo layer. A second voltage dependent design rule is, on the other hand, applied to the edge of the area if the edge is covered by the pseudo layer.
