How does Stone Pillar Suite speed design rule creation and run set generation?
Stone Pillar Suite includes capabilities for automatically creating design rules based on unit process capabilities. Design rules are created based on device constructs which are input by the user and which for the basis for a complete model of interlayer interactions. These provide the user with a maximal set of possible design rules from which they can select a subset. The selected subset are then presented for constraint input and based on the input constraints, a set of rues is created. The rules can be filtered and sorted for easy analysis and they form the basis for automatic creation of documentation and run set creation for a number of commercially available DRC tools. The resulting rules can also be imported into the parameterized layout and automatically update complete test chips to reflect rule changes with the click of a button.
