The final objective of an integrated circuit design is to produce a layout, that is, a geometrical representation of the circuit where the geometrical shapes correspond to patters that will be formed by layers of metal, oxide, and semiconductors. These patterns are essentially descriptions that will be used to print the circuit through chemical, thermal and photographic processes. To ensure the layout can be used to print the circuit with no defects, it is necessary to run design rules check. This verification searches for patterns that violate design rules, which makes it impossible to guarantee defect-free printing. However, some layout patterns may present printability problems even when design rules are respected. To solve this problem,...
