Automation of IP CAD View Validation

Abstract

The project deals with di erent views of the library. These views are mainly divided into two main parts. Front End (FE) and Back End (BE). Certi cation

ow which is needed to be understood to do the validation on the di erent libraries. Di erent steps of the certi cation ow are to be covered in this project. The di erent processes that validate the di erent libraries are to be understood by the ASIC ow. Some libraries which are certi ed and validated are included in the project. Certi cation ow requires 4-5 days. This ow contains 8 basic steps. It is a time consuming process. To remove the time constraint parameter, automation of this

ow has done and presented in this project. The whole ow can be run easily with this automation in 1 day. This automation contains some frameworks (PLUG-INS) which check the di er- ent views of the under test library. Plug-ins check the static views, modeling views, cross views and mat structure of the library. This Plug-ins are built on the TCL (Tool Command Language).
