Abstract
Verification of net-oriented ESD rules is rapidly becoming critical for nanometer design. To meet chip-level complexity and size challenges, a novel approach using topology-aware net types is developed to enable fast, hierarchical verification. This is applied to ESD design rules for power/ground interfaces and successfully adopted in production verification flows.
