Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for detecting hotspots using parameter matching. According to various implementations of the invention, devices in an electronic circuit design are classified into device groups based on their values for one or more device parameters, which can be derived from layout data describing the devices. Representative electrical information for each of the device groups is determined and used as a basis for hotspot detection.
