Pattern matching can integrate with a variety of DFM property types to produce multiple applications to ensure design optimization. Three of the most typical uses include: String/numeric built-in ...

To help designers find complex features with a design implementation, physical verification and DFM tools may employ pattern matching techniques. That is, a designer can simply copy a particular ...

Pattern matching can be used to find layout patterns that are known to cause manufacturing problems and provide this information back to the design team in a readily accessible manner. It is much ...

Figure 1. In sub-wavelength lithography, design rule compliance no longer guarantees yield. (Image courtesy of Luigi Capodieci, Ph.D., SPIE Microlithography 2006) Second, pattern matching’s true power ...

By matching only the positions of the edges of a pattern or feature in an image, the geometric pattern-matching technique overcomes problems such as changing gray-scale values. Using the geometric ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. IC physical verification (i.e., design rule checking or “DRC”) used to be easy. In the good old days, you could run some one ...

Together with scarring and other markers, spot patterns captured in photographs of whale shark flanks have been used, in the past, to make identifications by eye. We have automated this process by ...

When it comes to DNA analysis, large-scale pattern matching algorithms are constantly being refined to add a performance and efficiency boost to speed the time to result and accordingly, the practical ...
