  2. Very-large-scale integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-large-scale_integration

    Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (metal oxide semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunications technologies.

  3. Physical verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_verification

    Physical verification is a process whereby an integrated circuit layout (IC layout) design is verified via EDA software tools to ensure correct electrical and logical functionality and manufacturability. Verification involves design rule check (DRC), layout versus schematic (LVS), XOR (exclusive OR), antenna checks and electrical rule check ...

    (example: if a resistor in a schematic had resistance=1000 (ohms) and the extracted netlist had the a matched resistor with resistance=997(ohms) and the tolerance was set to 2%, then this device parameter would pass as 997 is within 2% of 1000 ( 997 is 99.7% of 1000 which is within the 98% to 102% range of the acceptable +-2% tolerance error) )

    The next era began following the publication of "Introduction to VLSI Systems" by Carver Mead and Lynn Conway in 1980, [4] and is considered the standard textbook for chip design. [5] The result was an increase in the complexity of the chips that could be designed, with improved access to design verification tools that used logic simulation ...

  6. Universal Verification Methodology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Verification...

    The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a standardized methodology for verifying integrated circuit designs. UVM is derived mainly from OVM ( Open Verification Methodology ) which was, to a large part, based on the eRM (e Reuse Methodology) for the e verification language developed by Verisity Design in 2001.

  7. List of HDL simulators - Wikipedia

    Both Aldec simulators are the most cost-effective simulators in the industry, with advanced debugging capabilities and high-performance simulation engines, supports advanced verification methodologies such as assertion based verification and UVM. Aldec simulators have the complete VHDL-2008 implementation and the first to offer VHDL-2019 features.

  8. Formal verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_verification

    In the context of hardware and software systems, formal verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain formal specification or property, using formal methods of mathematics. [1] Formal verification is a key incentive for formal specification of systems, and is at the core of formal methods.

  9. Formal equivalence checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_equivalence_checking

    This process is called formal equivalence checking and is a problem that is studied under the broader area of formal verification. A formal equivalence check can be performed between any two representations of a design: RTL <> netlist, netlist <> netlist or RTL <> RTL, though the latter is rare compared to the first two.
