Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for triple patterning technology (TPT) violation detection and visualization within an integrated circuit design layout are disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises mapping a plurality of violations of the integrated circuit design layout to a graph, generating a color graph corresponding to the graph, detecting at least one TPT violation from the color graph; and visualizing the at least one TPT violation on a layout canvas. In a second aspect, the system comprises a graph generator module for mapping a plurality of violations of the integrated circuit design layout to a graph and to generate a color graph corresponding to the graph, a detector module for detecting at least one TPT violation from the color graph, and a visualizer module for visualizing the at least one TPT violation on a layout canvas.
