ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, methods, and computer readable code for computing parameters related to layout schemes of integrated circuits are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an actual layout scheme is computed, for example, for a netlist. In some embodiments, one o or more layout schemes are scored based on, for example, susceptibility to failure and/or yield in manufacturing.
