Abstract
A circuit design in a hierarchical description is analyzed. The analysis comprises identifying electrical properties of circuit blocks in the circuit design. Circuit components of the circuit design are associated with geometric elements of a layout design. Then instances of each of the circuit blocks are classified into groups of instances based on the electrical properties. Rule checking is performed on one or more groups in the groups of instances for each of the circuit blocks by analyzing geometric elements associate with components of one instance for each of the one or more groups.
