Various embodiments provide for context-aware circuit design layout construct, which may be part of electronic design automation (EDA). In particular, some embodiments enable use of a circuit design layout construct with a layout of a circuit design (hereafter, a circuit design layout), where a programmable pattern of layout shapes of the circuit design layout construct can be inserted into a circuit design layout and can be adapted based on context information associated with the location of its placement within the circuit design layout.

Context-aware circuit design layout construct

Embodiments include herein are directed towards a method for use in an electronic design environment is provided. Embodiments may include receiving, using a processor, an initial data set associated with an electronic design and performing a built in self-discovery (BISD) analysis based upon, at least in part, the initial data set. Embodiments may include displaying, at a graphical user interface, a plurality of tiered, user-selectable options and receiving a user input corresponding to a selection of at least one of the plurality of tiered, user selectable options. Embodiments may also include tuning the plurality of tiered user selectable options based upon, at least in part, the user input.
