Calibre Pattern Matching: Picture It, Match It...Done!
White Paper
ABSTRACT
Calibre Pattern Matching is an extension to SVRF that simplifies complex rule checks required for advanced IC processes. This white paper discusses the conditions that have created the need for pattern matching techniques, the identification and creation of patterns, the Calibre Pattern Matching process, and the benefits derived from its use.
