Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

Python, for all its power and popularity, has long lacked a form of flow control found in other languages—a way to take a value and match it elegantly against one of a number of possible conditions.

ABSTRACT Historical pattern matching, or analog forecasting, is used to generate short-term mesoscale transport forecasts for emergency response at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. IC physical verification (i.e., design rule checking or “DRC”) used to be easy. In the good old days, you could run some ...
