Achieving correct-by-construction results during implementation significantly reduces time to tapeout and avoids schedule delays. This paper presents a pushbutton flow to generate timing-aware, signoff quality metal fill during place and route.

To manage design violations, CAD departments have employed a number of solutions to reduce the amount of violations needed to be checked by the physical verification engineer. However, these solutions are limited.

There is a growing need for a concurrent physical design and physical verification flow, also known as an in-design physical verification flow. This flow improves the overall turnaround time and ease of use of the physical verification process.

Smaller technologies, shorter time to market windows and more complex designs are driving the need for an additional set of analysis techniques which will help designers understand how susceptible their designs are to manufacturing process variations Technology nodes larger than 90 nm were able to achieve a certain level of manufacturability by complying with a set of foundry design rules.

Physical verification runtimes and memory usage have exploded with the increasing number of design rules, their subsequent complexity and the size of chips to be verified.
