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.

Figure 1: Liposome-based inhibitor of anthrax toxin assembly. Peptide-functionalized liposomes inhibited the intoxication of murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells by a mixture of PA and LF with a ...

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 ...

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 ...
