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 ...

Before we dive into the Composite pattern, I must first define composite objects: objects that contain other objects; for example, a drawing may be composed of graphic primitives, such as lines, ...

As the complexity of IC designs continues to grow, moving critical checks earlier in the design cycle helps designers identify and resolve issues before they escalate, streamlining the overall ...

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 (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.

Design patterns are solutions to recurring problems and complexities in software design. The Builder design pattern falls under the creational pattern category and can be used to build a complex ...

The controller handles incoming requests and puts any data the client needs into a component called a model. When the controller's work is done, the model is passed to a view component for rendering.
