Latest Patents

Lin’s patent, “Power Routing Reduction in Circuit Design for Electrostatic Discharge Checking,” describes a method for analyzing a circuit layout. The method generates a graph whose nodes represent layout polygons across multiple layers, then traverses the graph from a source node to a sink node according to rules for movement within and between layers. It prunes nodes not visited during traversal and retains the remaining nodes for use in the computation. This approach is directed at reducing the routing considered during electrostatic discharge checks.
