Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

As design nodes drop below 45nm, design rules are exploding in number and complexity, making design rule checking (DRC) harder and lengthier. What we have observed across the industry is that the ...

It’s no secret that a successful yield ramp directly impacts integrated circuit (IC) product cost and time-to-market. Tools and techniques that help companies ramp to volume faster, while also ...

Learn how to use pattern-matching features in your Java programs, including pattern matching with switch statements, when clauses, sealed classes, and a preview of primitive type pattern matching in ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. IC physical verification (i.e., design rule checking or “DRC”) used to be easy. In the good old days, you could run some ...

Python, for all its power and popularity, has long lacked a form of flow control found in other languages—a way to take a value and match it elegantly against one of a number of possible conditions.
