Automatic LVS rule file generation apparatus, template for automatic LVS rule file generation, and method for automatic LVS rule file generation

摘要

An automatic LVS rule file generation apparatus includes a definition file generating unit and a rule file generating unit. The definition file generating unit generates definition files used for a layout verification based on first data and templates that are used for the layout verification in a layout design of a semiconductor apparatus. The rule file generating unit automatically generates a LVS rule file based on the definition rule files. The templates includes first parameters indicating three-dimensional structures of the semiconductor apparatus. The definition files includes second data with respect to the first parameters.
