Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) DRC (Design Rule Check) is one of indispensable steps in a design flow. In order to use a DRC tool, a tool-specific rule file which describes the design rule is required. The rule file is usually created manually based on the design rule given by documents. Although the rule file is becoming longer and more sophisticated with progress of process technologies, little studies have been made for the verifying methodology of the rule file itself. In this report, we will consider to extract and visualize the design rule from the DRC rule file for Cadence's Dracula, in order to compare it with original documents. Given the rule file of the 1.2um CMOS double-metal process and 0.35um CMOS 4-layer-metal process, the developed tool displayed all rules, and 80% of rules, respectively.
