Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

As design nodes drop below 45nm, design rules are exploding in number and complexity, making design rule checking (DRC) harder and lengthier. What we have observed across the industry is that the ...

Calibre Pattern Matching allows you to define specific geometric configurations as visual patterns, directly from a design layout. With this visual representation, Calibre Pattern Matching opens up a ...
