Abstract
An integrated circuit verification system provides an indication of conflicts between an OPC suggested correction and a manufacturing rule. The indication specifies which edges segments are in conflict so that a user may remove the conflict to achieve a better OPC result. In another embodiment of the invention, edge segments are assigned a priority such that the correction of a lower priority edge does not hinder a desired OPC correction of a higher priority edge.
