ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for performing design rule check (DRC) of an integrated circuit. A design layout of the integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a complex circuit. A DRC tool is used to compare a portion of the design layout with a reference layout containing an accurate implementation of the complex circuit. The portion of the design layout corresponds to the complex circuit.
