Abstract
The Magic VLSI layout editor contains an incremental design-rule checker. When the circuit is changed, only the modified areas are rechecked. The checker runs continuously in background to keep information about design-rule violations up-to-date. This paper describes the basic rule checker, which operates on edges in the layout, and the techniques used to perform incremental checking on hierarchical designs.
