Abstract:
1. A method for inspecting short-circuit of a circuit layout for producing a circuit board and reducing a misidentification of a short-circuit error corresponding to an intentionally configured short-circuit component, comprising: obtaining, by a short-circuit inspection device, the circuit layout, wherein the circuit layout comprises a plurality of components; searching, by the short-circuit inspection device, at least one physical short-circuit component on the circuit layout among the components; adjusting, by the short-circuit inspection device, the at least one physical short-circuit component to set the at least one physical short-circuit component to an open circuit state; performing a short-circuit inspection procedure, by the short-circuit inspection device, to inspect whether the circuit layout comprising the at least one physical short-circuit component adjusted to be in the open circuit state has a short-circuit; and after the short-circuit inspection procedure is performed, recovering, by the short-circuit inspection device, the at least one physical short-circuit component adjusted to be in the open circuit state to the at least one physical short-circuit component before adjustment.
