Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method, a system and a computer program for providing information for correlating the edges of a layout shape to a critical area of design and defects so that a designer can improve the sensitivity of design to various types of faults. SOLUTION: The method, the apparatus and the computer program for visually indicating interaction between one or more edges of a design that contribute a pattern of a determined critical area are provided.

Abstract:
Methods, systems and program products are disclosed for selectively scaling (100) an integrated circuit (IC) design (200): by layer, by unit, or by ground rule, or a combination of these (130). The selective scaling technique can be applied in a feedback loop (408) with the manufacturing system (400) with process and yield feedback (300), during the life of a design, to increase yield in early processes in such a way that hierarchy is preserved. The invention removes the need to involve designers in improving yield where new technologies such as maskless fabrication are implemented.
Abstract:
An apparatus for carrying out, at frame rates, entity detection and verification on bit-mapped raster graphic systems by providing an entity identification bit sequence with each feature of the picture displayed. The apparatus includes a display (13) coupled to a store (10) for input data, serially sending items of data to the display, together with means (24-27) for identifying the items of data so supplied, such that any item of data forming a selected feature, i.e., line, circle, background or the like of the display can be identified (29), and stored (20). Comparison (22) and register (20) means are used to drive a modulating means (18) to verify the display of the items of data, forming the selected feature, when a correlation (22) occurs between the selected feature (20) and the feature formed by the items of data sent (17,21) from the store. Verification (18) may be emphasizing, i.e., brightening, flashing, color change, etc. of the feature selected.

ENTITY CONTROL FOR RASTER DISPLAYS An apparatus for carrying out, at frame rates, entity detection and verification on bit-mapped raster graphic systems by providing an entity identification bit sequence with each feature of the picture displayed. The apparatus includes a display coupled to a store for input data, serially sending items of data to the display, together with means for identifying the items of data so supplied, such that all the items of data forming a selected feature, i.e., line, circle, background or etc. of the display can be identified, and stored. Comparison and register means are used to drive a modulating means to verify the display of the items of data, forming the selected feature, when a correlation occurs between the selected feature and the feature formed by the items of data sent from the store. Verification may be emphasizing, i.e., brightening, flashing, color change, etc. the feature selected.
