Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for obtaining a physical layout for an integrated circuit (IC) design of a substrate having at least one of an n-well and a deep n-well; and extracting a layout netlist for the IC design from the physical layout by identifying the substrate as a single region. In such manner, short circuits isolated by the n-well or the deep n-well can be detected.
