I even wrote the DRC and LVS ev file by myself
but it is at least two years ago

How do you feel about it?

Where are you from? I'm from China.

 

[tarkyss]

I am not familiar with other layout verification tools, so it is hard for me to compare
I am from china too

I am using it everyday... Hahaa... nice to meet you all

Hi,

If you want to do verification, I think calibre is better than hercules.

hai,
hercules is synopsys tool which is used for checking DRC,LVS and ERC
DRC- design rule check
LVS layout VS Schematic
ERC - eletric rule check

The calibre or the dracula/Diva is beeter than the hercules

It is not always correct for all the technologies. Depending on the fab signoff either dracula/calibre/hercules to be used. But for most of the tsmc 40nm tech nodes they recommend calibre and for most of the 65nm nodes they recommend hercules .

For the 65nm process , you may use the assura too. The new version of assura is a excellent tool box!
