System and method for correcting charge collector violations

摘要

An electrical rules checker system and method provides for correcting charge collector violations in a netlist. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the electrical rules checker system includes a charge collector violation correction mechanism that includes a logic for analyzing the circuit configuration in a netlist, and a logic for identifying a charge collector violation in the circuit configuration. The charge collector violation correction mechanism further includes a logic for adding a charge collector diode to the netlist to correct the charge collector violation in the circuit configuration. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method analyzes the circuit configuration in a netlist, and identifies a charge collector violation in the circuit configuration. A charge collector diode is then added to the netlist to correct the charge collector violation in the circuit configuration.
