Question 1.
What does DRC stand for in VLSI design?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens during the layout phase.
Question 2.
What is the primary purpose of LVS in VLSI?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what logically connects the schematic and the physical layout.
3Question 3.
What is the main function of DRC?
- Ensure logical equivalence
- Verify design meets layout rules
- Check timing constraints
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what prevents manufacturing issues.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consistency between the design's logical and physical forms.
Question 5.
Create a hypothetical VLSI design that could have DRC violations, and explain what those violations might be.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on common pitfalls in circuit layouts.
Question 6.
Design a scenario in which LVS fails and describe how that impacts the project.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the equivalences between schematic and layout.
