drc-validation-skill

To validate an IO Ring layout, this Skill checks your layout file against T28 and T180 process node DRC requirements, enforcing minimum spacing, width, metal layer usage, and parameter precision rules to ensure manufacturing compliance.

DRC validation for semiconductor IO Ring layouts is the process of verifying that physical design dimensions, metal layers, and spacing meet specific manufacturing specifications for process nodes like T28 and T180.

Yes, you can check manufacturing compliance for both T28 and T180 process nodes, as the Skill references specific technology rule sets to enforce minimum dimensions and metal layer usage for each respective node.

During IO Ring DRC validation, the Skill enforces minimum spacing, minimum width, correct metal layer usage, and parameter precision rules based on the referenced T28 or T180 technology specifications.

You need to run DRC validation for an IO Ring layout after generation and before further processing, ensuring the physical design adheres to critical manufacturing specifications to prevent fabrication failures.
