Abstract

Disclosed herein are related to performing layout verification of a layout design of an integrated circuit having a slanted layout component. In one aspect, the slanted layout component having a side slanted from a base axis is detected. In one aspect, an offset angle of the side of the slanted layout component with respect to the base axis is determined. In one aspect, the slanted layout component is rotated according to the offset angle to obtain a rotated layout component. The rotated layout component may have a rotated side in parallel with or perpendicular to the base axis. In one aspect, layout verification can be performed on the rotated layout component with respect to the base axis.
