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.

Wildcards have been around forever. Some even claim they appear in the hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptians. Wildcards allow you to specify succinctly a pattern that matches a set of filenames (for ...

It’s no secret that a successful yield ramp directly impacts integrated circuit (IC) product cost and time-to-market. Tools and techniques that help companies ramp to volume faster, while also ...

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 ...

Experienced Java developers are committed to continuous improvement. We always seek ways to make our code more readable, reliable and efficient. Java's evolution provides a steady stream of powerful ...

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

Take advantage of pattern matching improvements in C# 8.0 to write code that is more readable, maintainable, and efficient Pattern matching is an excellent feature that was introduced in C# 7. You can ...

Network intrusion detection and pattern matching techniques form a critical pillar in contemporary cybersecurity. These methods enable the identification of malicious activities by scrutinising ...

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 ...
