Assura,qrc,rcx,pvs (Physical Verification System)

Hi all,

Can me someone explain different (advantages, disadvantages, using) between ASSURA,QRC,RCX,PVS tools, because i dont understand the using of these tools from datasheets very well.

thank you very much

QRC is the replacement for Assura RCX. It's based on the same technology, but has merged in the Fire & Ice cell-level extractor, uses common technology data, and QRC is the maintained and developed tool; Assura RCX only lives on in legacy support mode.

You need the LVS results, and additional data files produced from a process stack.
This is covered well in the documentation, so I suggest you read that.

PVS replace assura for 65nm nodes and beyond
