What is LVS, DRC?

Answer Posted / teja

LVS mean layout versus schematic.What it actually mean is, it compares between the layout.xp file which was been created from layout and the netlist of schematic.If any mismatch in the connections it will show errors.Now what is layout.xp is, first layout creates gds file through that gds file layout.xp file will be created(we can say this as netlist of layout)and comparision between them takes place while we run lvs..

DRC mean it is just design rules check.It checks complete layout if there are any violations in the layout with respect to the technology files (like spacings enclosers,widths,areas,endcaps ete etc) it will generate errors..
