Course Overview

Calibre eqDRC represents an important breakthrough in physical verification, making it possible for anyone performing design rules and LVS checks to truly do more with less. Better yet, it’s free!

Referred to as everything from “DRC on steroids” to “the next generation of verification,” Calibre eqDRC gives you the competitive edge you need get through these difficult times.

This course teaches you how to harness the power of Calibre eqDRC to:

  • Provide enhanced debugging support for designers
  • Write new rule decks more efficiently
  • Improve performance
  • Shrink rule deck size
  • Check for known manufacturability issues that were previously impossible to check
  • Translate in-house expertise into next-generation rules

Taught by industry experts and filled with dozens of examples, real-life labs, and applications, this course provides theory and concepts, tips and best practices, and hands-on experience. This all adds up to a true competitive edge.
