Patent ID: 11763062

Abstract:
Computer-implemented systems and methods for improving construction of a mask layout block, for eliminating electromigration and self-heat violations during construction of a mask layout block, and for maintaining process design rules and layout connectivity during construction of a mask layout block are provided. At least one selected polygon is analyzed and a selected position of the selected polygon determined. The systems and methods obtain one or more electromigration rules or self-heat rules associated with the selected polygon. An information window with the one or more electromigration or self-heat rules and a violation marker associated with the selected position of the selected polygon are provided. The system determines if the selected position of the selected polygon or a length or width of the selected polygon violates an electromigration rule or self-heat rule. The violation marker prevents creating, placing, and editing the selected polygon if the selected position would violate at least one of the one or more electromigration rules or self-heat rules.
