Abstract

This paper describes a new design rule checking system, PC-DRC, for CIF mask layout, which was written in C language on IBM PC/AT under DOS 3.0 environment. H/W devices and S/W utilities for PC-DRC is identical to that for PC-LADY[6], which makes PC-DRC an ideal post-processing routine for CIF file generated by PC-LADY. Various spurious errors were eliminated by ORing the input ClF data for each layer and the design rule errors were checked by edge based method on rectilinear polygon form. The detected errors are stored in CIF and displayed on CRT simultaneously.
