Faster short isolation with LVS Recon runs in Calibre RVE
In this paper, we discuss key challenges designers face during LVS verification cycles, focused on debugging one of most critical violations – the shorted nets. We then highlight how the enhanced integration of the Calibre nmLVS Recon graphical user interface (GUI) within the Calibre Results Viewing Environment (RVE) can help designers improve the LVS process.
What you'll learn:
How context shifting between tool environments impedes the verification process
Reduce debugging efforts by identifying and addressing issues earlier in the design flow
Use the familiar Calibre RVE to launch the Calibre nmLVS Recon GUI
Increase productivity of the interactive shorts isolation process
“When you run LVS the first time at the large block level, the whole thing lights up with circuit errors that you have to go fix. The problem is that you have to wait for the entire overnight run to finish before starting to fix all those shorts. That's where the Calibre nmLVS Recon tools help. You get Calibre signoff accuracy, but 10X faster." – Joe Sawicki
