Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and a non-transitory computer readable media for inter-metal dielectric reliability check. The method comprises: receiving an electronic layout, the electronic layout including a first plurality of electrical components in a first layer; determining an internal voltage difference within each electrical component in the first layer based on parasitic effect; generating a simulation voltage value for each electrical component in the first layer based on the internal voltage differences; and tagging a pair of electrical components in the first layer when a first voltage difference between the pair of electrical components exceeds a first voltage threshold. The first voltage difference is determined based on the simulation voltage value of each electrical component.
