Determination of functionality for integrated circuit modules

摘要

A method is disclosed for determining the functionality of circuitry contained within integrated circuit modules. A composite image signal is compiled from signals that each represent the image on one of a plurality of layers that are sequentially exposed across the module. A netlist presenting the components of the circuitry and the interconnections therebetween, is generated from the composite image signal. Components from the netlist are then allocated to specific functions which are compiled to determine the functionality of the circuitry.
