Abstract: A method and apparatus for verification of a semiconductor device design is disclosed that includes the determination of electrical distance for shapes of a design of a semiconductor device. In the present embodiment, the method includes, for each shape to be analyzed, growing from a seed disposed within a boundary shape to be analyzed. After each new growth step, a frontier edge or a frontier polygon is generated. No frontier edges or frontier polygons result from growth steps relating to boundary shapes that have fully traversed. Therefore, as each smaller shape is traversed, growth within the traversed shape is discontinued (no frontier edges or frontier polygons result). Thus, the growth regions of smaller shapes that have been traversed drop out, and are not included in subsequent growth steps, advantageously reducing memory requirements and run-time.
