Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach in solving the device recognition problem for VLSI circuits. The COMFOR system is a universal electrical circuit extractor. This extractor operates on a mask layout to recognize the electrical components, and compute their characteristics. The COMFOR system can handle any technology and work on large circuit layouts. It is based on both logic programming notions and syntactic pattern recognition techniques. The COMFOR system generates a complete description for an electrical simulator.
