layout off grid errors

[vbhupendra]

what if we ignore layout off grid errors ? What is the significance on final chip of these errors ?

I read it in the missipi University pdf. That the grids need to be right and similar to the foundary cells or company requirements due to the platform footprint for the final design. Although i will still wait for other suggestions

our layout grid must be matched with the foundary grid. If we place any layer with the edges other than multiples of grid value. then it will we problem for the fab in designing mask for the layer . then it fails in generating the desired mask. So we cannot ignore OFFGRID errors.
