Enhanced algorithms are provided for finding circuit edit locations which utilize automated conversions from circuit schematic to physical layout design. The enhanced algorithms further include a user interface enabling the user to provide preferences, limitations, and constraints in order to bias the search to be conducted, as well as using the provided design data in order to locate the best positions for particular edit schemes, including net cuts and net joins.

Enhanced OP3 algorithms for net cuts, net joins, and probe points for a digital design

A method and apparatus for defining a circuit operation, such as a charged particle beam operation to perform a circuit edit and define a probe point. Circuit operation definition is performed in a front-end environment with access to integrated circuit computer aided design tools providing logic level and layout level information concerning the integrated circuit. The front-end environment incorporates circuit operation optimization methods to identify optimal locations for a circuit operation. A back-end environment, such as a charged particle tool computing platform, is adapted to receive one or more files, which may include a truncated layout file with circuit operation location information, for use in further defining a circuit operation and/or performing the circuit operation.
